Priorities to be Considered for Scholarship

It is aimed to provide as many scholarships as possible to specialist students and young specialists who apply to the Turkish Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting and the 2nd International 26th National Clinical Training Symposium with an accepted research abstract. However, resources make it difficult to respond positively to every application. Therefore, in case the number of applications is high, priority will be determined by taking into account the following principles in determining the specialist students to be awarded scholarships:

• Not having attended to PAT congresses with a PAT scholarship before
• Considering interregional and inter-institutional balance

Important Notice: Those who will attend the Annual Meeting of the Psychiatric Association of Turkey and the 2nd International 26th National Clinical Training Symposium with PAT Congress Support Scholarship are required to present the abstract that is subject to the scholarship at the symposium. The Psychiatric Association of Turkey reserves the right to withdraw the scholarship in case of failure to present the abstract that is subject to the scholarship without a valid excuse submitted to the Central Executive Board before the presentation time and accepted as reasonable.
