    Awards and Honours
     

     
    I am pleased to announce the following awards and honours achieved by members of the Department of Psychiatry recently.

    Bruce Ballon has been appointed to the position of Associate Director for Education Scholarship in Simulation at the Network of Excellence in Simulation for Clinical Teaching and Learning-a joint venture of the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (University of Toronto Health Science Faculties and the 10 Academic Hospitals fully affiliated with the University of Toronto) and the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences. This position commences April 1, 2009 for a 2 year term.

    Jeffrey Meyer is the 2008 winner of the Royal College Medal Award in Medicine for his manuscript entitled Elevated Monoamine Oxidase A Levels in the Brain. This prestigious award includes a cash prize of $5,000 and a gold medal emblazoned with the crest of the Royal College. It also includes participation in the Visiting Medalist Program whereby a visit to a Canadian faculty of medicine will be arranged and supported by funds provided by the College. This medal has been given annually by the Royal College since 1949 and this is the first time it has been awarded to a psychiatrist! In addition,two post doctoral students in Jeffrey's laboratory, Alex Soliman and Ingrid Bacher received NARSAD awards this year.

    Daniel Mueller received a 2009 Young Investigator Award from NARSAD with funding for two years to pursue studies of mechanisms of antipsychotic induced weight gain.

    The Ann Thompson Award for best Resident Presentation at the annual Ontario Psychiatric Association conference in Toronto was awarded to Drs. Priya Raju and Rachel Kronick. Their presentation was titled: Dispatches from Across the Mirror: Dialogue Between Psychiatry Residents and Consumer/Survivors.

    Zindel Segal has been appointed as a Membre d'Honneur de l'Association Francaise de Mindfulness and as a Membre Associe Etranger de la Societe Medico-Psychologique de France. These titles are rarely awarded to scientists outside France and are a result of Zindel's lecturing and teaching there.

    The Department of Psychiatry Residency Training Program was nominated for the 2009 PAIRO Residency Program Excellence Award.

    I am sure everyone will join me in congratulating these outstanding individuals and in thanking them for their contributions ton the Department of Psychiatry.

    Re:

    THE PSYCHOTHERAPY AWARD FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
     

     
    As we come to the end of the academic year, it is once again time to pause and reflect on our work in considering nominating one of our colleagues for the Psychotherapy Award for Academic Excellence. This award, established in 2001, is intended to recognize outstanding contribution by an individual to the Psychotherapy Program.  The scope of this contribution can be reflected in any of the activities of the Psychotherapy Program, including teaching and education, psychotherapy research, program development, clinical scholarship or creative professional development.  Recognition should be provided to individuals across the entire collective of our work, and not be limited to contributions that represent a “lifetime achievement”. In this way, excellence, passion and commitment, in whatever guises, to the academic endeavour of psychotherapy will be more apparent.

    Please see the attached notice for the guidelines around the process of nomination. Thank you for your attention to this.
