William L. Webb Fellowship Program

The William L. Webb Fellowship Program is designed to support a select number of outstanding advanced residents and fellows in C-L psychiatry at an early stage in their career. The Program fosters the career development and leadership potential of advanced psychiatry residents and C-L Psychiatry fellows who plan to engage in an academic career in C-L psychiatry.

As leading academic C-L psychiatrists of the future, Webb Fellows will be especially well positioned to play key roles in generating and disseminating evidence in C-L psychiatry, including educating non-psychiatric physicians who treat patients with psychiatric disorders

William Logan Webb, Jr., MD, FACLP
from Psychosomatics obituary

The program is named for William Logan Webb, Jr., MD, FACLP, president of the Academy 1986-87. Dr. Webb had an impressive career in C-L psychiatry and was among the early strong advocates of its subspecialty designation. He was involved in the study of pain, became an international authority in psychiatric ethics, was a highly respected teacher, and participated in symposia concerning coping mechanisms in sick physicians. When terminally ill in New York City, he eagerly became an interviewee for medical students. In 1991, Dr. Webb was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal of the American College of Psychiatrists.

Dr. Webb passed away in December 1992 at age 62. For more information about his career and impact on ACLP, please see Dr. Webb's obituary in the May 1993 issue of Psychosomatics, authored by M.J. Martin, MD, FACLP, president of the Academy 1973-74.
