Congratulations to our 2025 Winner!
Jonathan Chevinsky
I am deeply honored to have been selected as the recipient of the Practice Match Empowered Physician Scholarship. The award will support my participation in the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions Congress in Hamburg, Germany, where I will present my work entitled "Inpatient Psychiatry in American Children: Legal and Ethical Considerations." Scholarship funds will be used to offset essential costs related to conference registration, travel, lodging, and presentation materials, enabling me to share clinically grounded and ethically informed perspectives on the legal frameworks governing pediatric inpatient psychiatric care in the United States. Being chosen for this scholarship is both affirming and motivating, as it recognizes my commitment to advancing thoughtful, ethical, and systems-aware psychiatric care for children and adolescents while supporting my ongoing development as an academic physician and educator.
