专业协会从事的活动旨在培养其领域的高素质早期职业成员。专业协会每年颁发的荣誉研究金的价值鲜为人知。在对这一主题唯一已知的先前研究的后续研究中，作者询问了一个精神病学会的奖学金获得者，以更好地了解荣誉奖学金和其他成果的感知价值，方法作者询问了Laughlin和精神病学住院医师培训考试（R）的前参与者，（PRITE（R））关于他们的奖学金经验和他们随后参与美国精神病学家学院和其他精神病学会员组织的计划。作者获得了频率数据，并使用t检验和卡方检验分析响应。测试了结果与年龄、性别和奖学金类型等人口统计特征之间的关联。结果收集了143名参加劳克林奖学金和22名参加PRITE奖学金的个人的回复。答卷人认为，研究金的经验在专业上很有帮助。劳克林研究员年龄更大，更有可能在专业组织中担任领导角色（60%对36%，p = 0. 04）。劳克林研究员也更强烈地赞同专业承认作为一个好处，在接受他们的奖项。调查受访者报告说，增加了参与专业组织，并承担领导作用，在学院和其他专业组织后的奖学金experience.Conclusions总体上，研究员对他们的经验普遍是积极的。许多受访者在获得奖学金后参与了学院的工作，但更大比例的人参与了其他组织，包括担任领导职务。拥有早期职业计划的专业协会，如劳克林奖学金和PRITE奖学金，似乎可以按照预期识别和支持未来的领导者，但这些领导者可能会更多地参与其他专业协会。
Objective Professional societies engage in activities with the aim of nurturing highly talented early career members of their field. Little is known about the value of honorary fellowship awards given annually by professional societies. Following up on the only known prior study of this topic, authors queried fellowship awardees in one psychiatric society to better understand the perceived value of honorary fellowships and other outcomes, such as subsequent involvement in professional societies.Methods The authors queried former participants in the Laughlin and Psychiatry Resident-In-Training Examination (R) (PRITE (R)) Programs regarding their fellowship experiences and their subsequent involvement in The American College of Psychiatrists and other psychiatry membership organizations. The authors obtained frequency data and analyzed responses using t-tests and chi-squared tests. Associations between the outcomes and demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and fellowship type was tested.Results Responses were gathered from 143 individuals who had participated in the Laughlin Fellowship and 22 in the PRITE Fellowship. Respondents felt that that the fellowship experience had been helpful professionally. Laughlin fellows were older and more likely to have assumed a leadership role in professional organizations (60 % vs 36 %, p = 0.04). Laughlin fellows also more strongly endorsed professional recognition as a benefit at the time of receiving their award. Survey respondents reported increased participation in professional organizations and assumed leadership roles in The College and other professional organizations subsequent to the fellowship experience.Conclusions On the whole, fellows were generally positive about their experiences. Many respondents became involved with The College subsequent to their fellowship, but a larger proportion became involved with other organizations, including in leadership roles. Professional societies with early career programs such as the Laughlin Fellowship and the PRITE Fellowship appear to identify and support future leaders as intended, but these leaders may engage more with other professional societies.
