Following the review of the applications received and the recommendation made by our Departmental Internal Appointments Committee, I am pleased to announce Dr. Rafael Freire as our new Director, Fellowship Program, as of February 1, 2023. Dr. Freire's term will be of 5 years, and will be focused primarily on the expansion of existing and the development of new fellowship opportunities across various Divisions, services and programs in Psychiatry. This will also include exploring ways to support clinical research endeavours and the benefits of strategic, short-term observerships in collaboration with other centres.
We look forward to supporting Rafael in this new and exciting role!
