CDLP Program — Donald F. Klein Award — Andrew Burns Scholarship
Promoting careers and professional development has been a central focus for ADAA since our inception in 1998. To date, the ADAA awards program has provided more than one million dollars to 400 aspiring professionals and given them access to a professional home, unique pairings with senior mentors from our membership, and participation at the annual conference. All award winners gain VIP access to the 2018 Annual Conference, receive complimentary registration and will be recognized during the Conference's opening session. Download a one-page flyer about the awards to share with colleagues.
ADAA
 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. CDLP mentoring will take place at the 2018 Annual Conference (April 5-8 in Washington, D.C.). 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. Mentors and mentees will also meet more informally throughout the four day conference and beyond.
A mentor's expertise and broad experience are invaluable to an early career professional and make a lasting difference. Mentors help early career professionals bolster their career, avoid obstacles and make smart career decisions. It is also a fun and rewarding experience.
If you are interested in learning more about serving as a practice, basic neuroscience and clinical research track CDLP mentor, please contact Helen Heymann, Senior Education Program Manager at hheymann@adaa.org by Oct. 2.

Personalized Medicine in Psychiatry on Management of Treatment- Resistant Depression
 Featuring: Charles Nemeroff, MD, PhD
This presentation will focus on the factors associated with treatment-resistance including a history of child abuse and neglect, prominent anxiety and certain comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions. The importance of accurate diagnosis will be highlighted including family history and evaluation for medical disorders associated with poor treatment response such as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism. Once a patient has failed an adequate trial of an antidepressant, a decision to either: 1) increase the dose of the current antidepressant, 2) engage in combination therapy of the current agent and another antidepressant or evidence-based psychotherapy (e.g. CBT), 3) utilize an augmentation strategy by adding an agent (e.g. lithium or T3) that is not an effective antidepressant, but when added to an antidepressant converts non-remitters to remitters, 4) switch to an entirely different antidepressant class, e.g. SSRI→SNRI or SSRI→MAOI 5) use a somatic non-pharmacological approach such as rTMS, VNS, or ECT. The evidence for these approaches will be summarized.
Finally, the status of experimental treatments including ketamine and DBS will be discussed. Eligible for 1 CE.

But other people have similarly uncontrollable reactions to seeing clusters of bubbles. Some scientists have suggested that the extreme reaction to round shapes occurs because they resemble spots or circles found on poisonous animals, including snakes and the blue-ringed octopus.
