EACH YEAR SINCE 2006, 12 early career psychiatrists from around the world have been selected to participate in the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology (JSPN) Fellowship Award Symposium to form friendships and stimulate academic collaborations. An early career psychiatrist is defined as younger than 40 years of age or having less than 10 years’ experience in psychiatry. In 2016, a Fellowship Award Program Strategic Meeting was added to promote international collaborative research not only among the early career psychiatrists but also among psychiatrists in general.
