  • Call for Papers: Looking Back on 50 Years of Academic Psychiatry and Envisioning the Future of Scholarly Work in Psychiatry Education

    Academic Psychiatry will publish Volume 50 in 2026. We welcome your reports and perspective pieces on how the journal has shaped your professional and career development and influenced your education in psychiatry, whether as a teacher or learner—or both—and how the journal can best serve its contributors and field in the future.

    Submission Deadline: September 1, 2025

  • Call for Papers: Transitions in Work and Life in Medical Students, Psychiatry Residents, and Practicing Psychiatrists

    Transitions are an inevitable and impactful part of professional and personal life, shaping the experiences of medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing psychiatrists. These periods of change influence identity formation, career decision making, scholarship, and the ability to integrate work and personal responsibilities. We invite both learners in psychiatry and practicing/academic psychiatrists to submit short manuscripts (no more than 1,000 words), sharing their experiences and reflections around these and other transitions.

    We look forward to receiving your submissions by July 1, 2025.

  • Trainee Editorial Fellowship
