Psychiatric Services Seeks New Members for Early-Career Advisory Group
Psychiatric Services, a leading journal in mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs, seeks new members to join its Early-Career Advisory Group (ECAG). The journal plays a crucial role in peer reviewing and publishing high-quality research and pieces from thought leaders. The purpose of the ECAG is to ensure that the journal is informed by the perspectives, interests, and talents of early-career psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral health clinicians, mental health services researchers, peer specialists, and other mental health professionals.
This active working group offers an opportunity for mentorship from members of the editorial board and for engagement in journal activities. ECAG members are expected to contribute to the Editor’s Choice Collection series and to join periodic virtual meetings to discuss various journal operations, including how to attract specific content, review practices, and strategies to increase the journal’s reach, impact, and relevance. Members can engage in various ways—in podcasts, editorial tasks (writing, reviewing), and other journal activities in line with professional interests. Members of the ECAG must be within 7 years of the completion of training (e.g., residency, fellowship, post-doc). The term for this position will be 3 years.
Interested individuals should submit by December 31, 2024, a curriculum vitae and cover letter to Lisa B. Dixon, M.D., M.P.H., Editor, [email protected] (Subject line: ECAG search; name CV file by surname please).
Controversies in Psychiatric Services Seeks Submissions
Topic 6: Shortages in the Psychiatric Workforce
The coeditors of the Controversies in Psychiatric Services column have opened submissions on Topic 6:
To address psychiatric workforce shortages and to promote delivery of specialized services to vulnerable populations, psychiatry residency programs should compress their current general psychiatry curriculum into 3 years and focus the fourth year of training on increased use of the fast-track fellowship training model, with implementation in addiction, geriatric, community psychiatry, emergency psychiatry, and other in-demand subspecialty fellowships.
Controversies in Psychiatric Services highlights topical areas to the field of psychiatry where there may be debate, disagreements, or divisiveness. Submissions focus on a specific topic. Accepted papers will be published together, offering differing viewpoints on that topic. The goal is to foster new perspectives, promote further discourse, and, hopefully, generate new conclusions while maintaining the civility and intellectual rigor appropriate to an academic journal. Topics are chosen by the editors on the basis of the timeliness and importance of the controversy. Interested authors may submit papers describing one viewpoint on the topic (limited to 1,200 words and 5 references that are core to the argument; no abstract, tables, or figures). The editors may also reach out to individuals to request column submissions based on specific topics.
When submitting, please include the topic number in your cover letter. Rachel M. Talley, M.D., is overseeing this series.
