PSV Foundation Update
By Rizwan Ali, MD, DFAPA
The purpose of the PSV Foundation is to promote science and education to the members of the Psychiatric Society of Virginia (PSV). The Foundation achieves this objective by promoting education and research for the medical students, Residents, and Fellows. The PSV Foundation awarded $3,350 in prizes for the Fall Meeting poster session. This year the Foundation will again provide generous funding for the prizes. In addition, the PSV Foundation will support trainee attendance at the annual meeting through travel stipends for those living outside the Tidewater area.
Special thanks go to Tom Phillips, Financial Advisor to PSV for UBS. He recommended the Bob and Anna Lou Schaberg Foundation to support the Foundation. With his help, the PSV Foundation received $50,000 in funds. That money has been invested, and the income from those investments is being used to support the residents and medical students. Still, the Foundation could use your help. PSV could not receive a grant from the APA in 2021 to help with resident recruitment and retention. Any funds you donate will be invested in the trainees for future meetings. Funds will be allocated to help with travel to both the Spring and Fall Meetings for 2022. The PSV Foundation hopes to sponsor a trainee get-together on September 24, 2021, promoting camaraderie across training programs. Furthermore, the Foundation intends to encourage trainees to stay in the Commonwealth due to the current physician shortage and many senior psychiatrists retiring.
