Overview

The World Psychiatric Association, as part of its Action Plan 2008-2011, has launched a programme of research fellowships for early-career psychiatrists from low- or lower-middle income countries, in collaboration with internationally recognized Centers of Excellence in Psychiatry.

Within this programme, the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH, USA is funding a one-year research fellowship in the therapeutics of bipolar disorder.

The main purpose of this fellowship is to provide an opportunity for the recipient to get training in research methodology focusing on the phenomenology and therapeutics of bipolar disorder. The primary focus of research conducted at this research center is the short- and long-term treatment of bipolar disorder with special emphasis on bipolar depression, rapid cycling pattern of presentation, and co-occurring Axis I disorders. The training director, Dr. Joseph Calabrese, holds the Bipolar Disorders Research Chair and is Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University. For further information on the center, please visit the website http://case.edu/mdp.
