Dr. Vivek Datta, one of our third-year psychiatry residents, received two national awards at the March annual meeting of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (AADPRT) in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Datta won an International Medical Graduate award, which honors and provides national mentorship for outstanding psychiatry residents who have graduated from foreign medical schools. In addition, he was selected as one of the five 2015 BRAIN scholars. BRAIN scholars are chosen nationally from psychiatry residents and fellows nominated for outstanding research and/or teaching achievements and potential. They help facilitate small-group sessions during the AADPRT- and NIMH-sponsored pre-meeting, which focuses on how to teach neuroscience in psychiatry residencies.
