<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Good morning, all! My name is Katherine Heck, and I am a third-year medical student at the Medical University of South Carolina and Chair for the 2026 Psychotherapy Fair. We are officially seeking
medical students to apply to join the Psychotherapy Fair Leadership Team! Here is a brief introduction to who we are and what we do: </p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><i>"Being a part of the seventh annual Virtual Psychiatry Residency Psychotherapy Fair leadership team will provide a unique opportunity to learn about residency programs with strong psychotherapy
training, correspond directly with residency directors and current residents, develop your leadership skills, and work alongside like-minded psychiatrists-to-be! </i><br>
<br>
<i>Last year, the fair was co-sponsored by the Psychotherapy Caucus of the APA and the Austen Riggs Center and took place entirely on Zoom. Over 30 psychiatry residency programs and a few hundred students/medical graduates applying for psychiatry residency
were in attendance. This year, the fair will take place entirely on Zoom with </i>
<b><i>a Saturday date between late August to early September 2026 (TBD), </i></b><i>and Leadership Team members will need to be available that day to ensure a seamless, meaningful event. We hope to recreate and improve upon this successful event by recruiting
a passionate, hard-working team of psychiatry applicants interested in psychotherapy!</i><br>
<br>
<i>To qualify for a position on the team, applicants must be:</i><br>
<i> ➡ A member of the APA and the Psychotherapy Caucus (free membership for students)</i><br>
<i> ➡ Interested in and excited about psychotherapy</i><br>
<i> ➡ Organized, responsible, and dedicated!</i></p>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><i> ➡ We aim to build a team of passionate rising MS4s and rising MS3s! Ideally, there will be one MS3 and one MS4 co-leading each position together. </i></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><i>Note: This application is </i><b><i>due on</i></b><i> </i><b><i>May 1st,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>2026</i></b><i> </i><b><i>at 11:59 pm EST</i></b><i>." </i></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><u>APPLICATION LINK:</u></b> <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);">

<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">If you are a medical student passionate about psychotherapy or know a student who might be interested, please send them this link! We will also be hosting an information session at the next TAI
on April 23rd at 8:00 PM EST for anyone interested. <i>Please feel free to email me at heckk@musc.edu if any questions arise. </i></p>
