TI  - Mentoring young researchers: can the Donald J Cohen Fellowships model be 
      applicable and useful to Australasian psychiatry?
PG  - 232-6
AB  - OBJECTIVES: To describe the experience with the Donald J Cohen Fellowship program 
      of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied 
      Professions (IACAPAP) and examine whether this model may be applied by the RANZCP 
      to attract and support young researchers in Australasia. METHODS: The program at 
      the September 2006 IACAPAP conference included 50 young researchers, 16 mentors 
      and 8 'host fellows', and consisted of exclusive poster sessions, daily 
      small-group mentoring meetings, oral presentation of selected papers, and a 
      summary and feedback session. RESULTS: Informal feedback from mentors, mentees 
      and conference organisers was very positive. CONCLUSIONS: A proposal about 
      funding, participants and activities is presented. This suggests that a mentoring 
      model similar to the Donald J Cohen Fellowship program can be easily conducted in 
      Australasia. Implementing a program of this type would give College Fellows, the 
      Australian Medical Council, the Commonwealth Government and other relevant 
      organizations a clear message that the RANZCP is seriously committed to fostering 
      and supporting research.
