• Meet over the course of the year with a mentor from our faculty

• Gain free admittance to the winter conference of the American Psychoanalytic Association in New York

• Work together on a written project to be published in the bulletin of Columbia’s Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine

• Have the opportunity to become part of the Center’s research group
