Pamela Y. Collins, MD, MPH, was honored at the APA/APAF Minority Fellows and Alumni Reception this month for receiving the 2019 Jeanne Spurlock, MD Minority Fellowship Achievement Award. Dr. Collins is recognized as an outstanding psychiatrist who has taken innovative and supportive efforts to raise awareness of mental illness in under-served minority communities, increasing the need for early recognition, increasing the availability of treatment and how to access it, and addressing the culture barriers to treatment. She has increased access to quality mental health services for under-served minority communities and improved the quality care of underserved minority populations, particularly those in the public health system or with severe mental illness.
