On Monday, May 7, the UNMC contingent gathers at Bocca Restaurant in New York City for dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n

Seven UNMC and Creighton residents attended the 2018 APA Conference in New York City this month.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dana Raml, Dr. Alyssa Hickert, Dr. Melissa O\u2019Dell, Dr. Joe Kent, Dr. Heather Spain, Dr. Siva Koppolu and Dr. Spencer Gallner were awarded travel scholarships after turning in impressive applications. The travel awards were funded by the UNMC Department of Psychiatry and BHECN.<\/p>\n

Dr. Howard Liu, who leads both units, said that initially, BHECN was only going to fund two trips to APA, but was so impressed by the quality of the applications that we decided to fund seven awards.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alyssa Hickert said she really enjoyed her first APA Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to attend in the future, and it cast a very positive light on continuing my education throughout my career,\u201d she said. \u201cI am especially grateful for the travel scholarship which relieved the financial burden of attending the conference, and it is incredibly valuable to me that I\u2019m attending a residency which prioritizes these additional educational opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seven residents were joined by other UNMC medical students and UNMC\/Creighton residents for dinner on Monday, May 7 at Becco Italian Restaurant in the heart of the theater district in New York. Dr. Melissa O\u2019Dell said a highlight of the conference was meeting professionals with common interests. And when Dr. O\u2019Dell met new people, she always had an icebreaker. She attended most events with her two-month-old baby girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the conference, I got to work on my networking skills, which I think of as an area for improvement for me,\u201d Dr. O\u2019Dell said. \u201cI found that having a baby with you is a good way to force yourself to meet people because everyone wants to see the baby and a happy baby is a natural conversation starter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Dana Raml attended APA after previously attending smaller conferences like the Association of Medicine and Psychiatry (AMP) and Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry (ADMSEP). She said APA offered something different, a common thread between all psychiatrists: academic or private, child, geriatric, forensic, outpatient or inpatient.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I reflect on my time at APA, I am again overwhelmed with gratitude,\u201d Dr. Raml said. \u201cEveryone has a place at the APA, reminding me that in psychiatry I\u2019m part of something big. I\u2019m so appreciative of the experience, and I\u2019m looking forward to incorporating the pearls I have learned into my practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The APA Conference was held from May 5-8 at the New York Marriott Marquis. The residents were required to attend two EPA conference programs each day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
