PSV Foundation Supports Fall Meeting Posters

The PSV Foundation’s main objective is to promote education and research for Medical Students, Residents, and Fellows. The Foundation supports research and training to improve mental health care. The PSV Foundation provided funding for the prizes for this year’s Fall Meeting poster session to encourage research by trainees from various medical schools across the Commonwealth. In addition, the PSV Foundation will support trainees through travel stipends for those traveling to present posters at the Fall Meetings.

The PSV Foundation could use your help. Any funds you donate will be invested in trainees for future meetings. The PSV Foundation hopes to sponsor a trainee get-together in 2023, promoting camaraderie across training programs. Please consider supporting the PSV Foundation.

Please donate to the foundation today: PSV Foundation Contribution Form (psva.org)
