Dr. Levy Was Chosen To Be This Year’s Ken Silk Lecturer
September 14, 2022
The annual lecture is given by a prominent leader in the field of psychiatric disorders with a specific focus on addressing innovative, evidence-based advances in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders, Ken’s area of expertise. The Ken Silk Lecturer is selected in advance by the “Kenneth R. Silk, M.D. Lectureship Committee”, which will be comprised of the Chair and the Associate Chairs of the Department of Psychiatry, and additional faculty members as determined by the Chair.
The annual lecture honors Dr. Silk and includes a reception to provide an opportunity for our current psychiatry trainees to share their research endeavors and to meet personally with the Silk Lecturer and other senior faculty members. Residents, medical students and postdoctoral fellows are invited to submit an abstract for the annual Silk Lecture, to be displayed in a pre-lecture poster session. The intent of the poster session is to share recent academic advances from the past year so that faculty and trainees can become familiar with colleagues’ research, and collaborations and mentorship opportunities are fostered.
The lectureship and associated activities are made possible thanks to the generosity of Dr. Silk’s wife, Joan Margeson, along with numerous friends, family members and former colleagues who helped establish the Kenneth R. Silk, M.D. Endowment fund in Psychiatry.
