Dear ADMSEP Members,

I'm reaching out again today to encourage all members to consider applying for one of our annual awards, to be presented in June at our annual conference in Boston. Descriptions for the awards can be viewed here: ADMSEP Awards

Applications are due 3/31/2025, so there are still have 28 days left to apply

Please see the testimonial below from Dana Raml, our 2023 Recipient of the Devneil Vaidya Junior Faculty Award, describing how receiving one of our awards impacted her career.

It was an incredible honor to receive the ADMSEP Devneil Vaidya Junior Faculty Award. ADMSEP has been an integral part of my career journey, as I have been a member since I was a third-year medical student. I truly feel I have “grown-up” professionally through this organization. The mentorship and support I’ve received, along with opportunities to connect with such dedicated and inspiring educators, have been invaluable. However, because of so many high-quality educators in ADMSEP, I also experienced imposter syndrome when applying for this award. The encouragement from my colleagues at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and within ADMSEP helped me push through those doubts. This recognition has helped my confidence in the psychiatry education scene. It will also be an important part of my promotion and tenure packet when I go up for associate professor. I am incredibly grateful for this award and the ADMSEP organization. -Dana Raml

Hello ADMSEP Members,

The ADMSEP Scholarly Publication Award seeks to recognize the most outstanding UME-focused publication by an ADMSEP member over the past year. The Awards Committee has searched Academic Psychiatry, MedEdPORTAL, and Medical Teacher for publications and have already identified a number of publications for consideration.

If you have published between March 2023 and March 2024 in another journal (or would like to confirm consideration of your article in the aforementioned journals), please contact me with the citation for your publication.

Thank you,

Chase Findley

Practicing gratitude is good for the mental health of both the giver and recipient. Now is a great opportunity for you to engage in practicing gratitude by pondering who has made your professional life easier and more enjoyable over the past year, and what is it that person has done that you found to be so helpful. This is an ideal time to let ADMSEP members know how thankful you are, and then to demonstrate your gratitude by nominating them for an ADMSEP award!

· Does your Clerkship Administrator regularly prevent chaos from overwhelming your day? Nominate them for the ADMSEP Clerkship Administrator Award for Excellence.

· Has your early-in-their-career colleague come up with some fresh and clever ideas for improving medical student education at your school? Encourage them to apply for the ADMSEP Devneil Vaidya Award and offer to write a letter of support.
