Congratulations to the 2018 CDLP Awardees!
The Alies Muskin Career Development Leadership Program (CDLP) is an intensive mentoring and professional development opportunity for early career clinicians and researchers. This interactive learning experience challenges thinking and encourages creative discourse about anxiety, depressive, obsessive-compulsive, and trauma-related disorders in a diverse, multidisciplinary community of professionals involved in practice and research. The CDLP program is another step in ADAA's commitment to recognize and promote outstanding talent. Participants are grouped among two tracks: Clinical Research and Practice. Meet all our 2018 CDLP award winners here.
Many Thanks to ADAA's 2018 CDLP Mentors
The ADAA Mentorship Program establishes dynamic, reciprocal relationships between an advanced career incumbent and an early career professional aimed at promoting the development of both. ADAA has a longstanding tradition of providing CDLP award winners with a senior mentor from ADAA membership.
Mentors play a key and invaluable part of the CDLP program's success. Most of the focused mentoring time will occur on Thursday, April 6 when mentors meet with their mentees during a special CDLP breakfast and again in the afternoon for a formal program. Meet all of our 2018 CDLP mentors here.

2018 Advanced Weekend Training Seminar on CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)
A non-profit CE accredited activity
When: Thursday-Saturday, April 5th-7th 2018
Where: Houston Hall, Penn Campus, Philadelphia, PA
Faculty: Michael Perlis, PhD, Donn Posner, PhD, and Jason Ellis, PhD
Information: Department of Psychiatry: Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia
Registration: Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia
The purpose of this educational activity is to provide advanced training to licensed clinicians in the practice of CBT-I. The workshop is split 2:1 in favor of active learning exercises to lectures. The learning exercises (Day 2 & 3) include e.g., case presentations and role plays. The lectures (Day 1 only) cover several topics including advanced models of insomnia, actigraphy, interpreting PSG reports, alternative treatment strategies (e.g., sleep compression, bright light treatment, etc.), med titration, etc. The program should position clinicians to more effectively deal with complex issues and cases. This training, along with other CE workshops, supervised practice, a past caseload of 10 or more cases, and a reasonable program of self-study (readings and videos) should adequately prepare individuals for the certification exams (as they become available).
ADAA is proud to collaborate with the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy to co-present two on-demand sessions on:
Both sessions are fully on-demand and open for participation to anyone at any time. These sessions are approved for CME credit through Jan. 19, 2021.
ADAA members receive a $5 discount on each session by entering the code "ADAA" during registration.
