Eight junior faculty women from Mass General were recently selected to receive the 2024 Claflin Distinguished Scholar Award, which is managed by the Executive Committee on Research and the Office for Women’s Careers. The intent of this award is to increase opportunities for women to advance to senior positions in academic medicine. These are two year awards for $50,000 per year in direct costs. Two members of the Department of Psychiatry have received this prestigious award.
The award recognizes Dr. McDougle, an internationally-recognized expert in the neurobiology and neuropsychopharmacology of childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorders including autism.
One of eight 2024 Claflin Distinguished Scholars, Dr. Pederson shares her path to medicine, the nature of her research work and what the award means to her.
Bringing together the Departments of Psychiatry at Mass General and Brigham, Dr. Fava will build on the incredible achievements and reputations of both organizations to guide the future of psychiatric care across MGB.
