Catching up with ADAA's Past Career Development Leadership Program (CDLP) Awardees
Meet CDLP 2017 Awardee Ashley Clausen, MA
"As a CDLP recipient in 2017, I had the fortunate opportunity to be mentored by Darin Dougherty, MD. I participated in the CDLP during my final year of graduate training in clinical psychology at the University of Tulsa. I gained an enormous amount of knowledge as a result of my involvement related to grantsmanship, as well as feedback on my line of research, including specific guidance on developing a project to be submitted for a training grant. An invaluable aspect of the CDLP was the opportunity to network with experts, research and clinically focused, across numerous fields, including those within my own field of research." Read more.

ADAA's Clinical Fellows Program
Meet Clinical Fellow Lynne S. Gots, PhD
"The Clinical Fellows program has given me a compelling incentive to attend the ADAA annual conferences in order to earn the required CEUs and stay current in the field. I've always enjoyed the workshops and the added bonus of meeting up with colleagues I've come to know from my regular attendance over the years but now I make it an absolute priority." Read more.
Meet Clinical Fellow Nina Rifkind, LCSW, ACS
"Becoming an ADAA Clinical Fellow was one of the best decisions I've made since going full time with my private practice. Prior to then, many of my CEU decisions, were based on scheduling and proximity to home. I knew I was missing the type of learning I craved: research-based, practical clinical techniques and strategies that would continue to make me a better clinician, but wasn't sure where to find these things."
