Department of Psychiatry Representatives at AACAP Conference

The AACAP Child and Adolescent Conference is fast approaching! We’re excited to introduce our talented faculty and trainees from the Gainesville and Jacksonville Psychiatry Departments, who will be presenting this year. We’ve organized a schedule of our department’s presentations for easy reference, and we hope you’ll take the chance to attend and cheer on our colleagues as they share their research and insights.

In addition, we invite you to join us for a special reception in the Leschi Room on the third floor of Union Tower, Sheraton Grand, at 5:00 PM on Thursday, October 17th. This event will provide an excellent opportunity to connect with alumni, potential new hires, new fellows, and network with colleagues from across both departments.

We look forward to seeing you there!
