INVITATION

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the Annual Meeting of the Turkish Psychiatric Association and the 3rd International 27th National Clinical Education Symposium will be held with the participation of our esteemed specialists and specialty students from April 27-30, 2025, at Xanadu Resort Hotel in Antalya.

Twenty-eight years ago, the Spring Symposiums were initiated to provide a platform where all organs of our association could hold their annual meetings, working units could come together, and association policies could be discussed and debated with all members who could attend. Over the years, these symposiums have evolved and renewed themselves, gaining international status since 2022, thanks to the 29 years of experience of the Turkish Psychiatric Association and the contributions of our valued participants. We are proud and happy to share the journey of this development under the name of the International Clinical Education Symposium.

We believe that your event proposals, research and case presentations, and oral or poster presentations will further enrich the scientific content. After being evaluated by the referees’ committee, the congress registrations of the event speakers included in the symposium’s scientific program will be covered by our association.

To strengthen our young colleagues, who are the future of our association, and their efforts, the Oral Presentation Scholarship Support will continue for specialty students applying with oral presentations at this symposium. We would also like to remind you of the Research Project Incentive Award, which we believe will enhance the scientific quality of our field and interest in science.

This year, the symposium will again be held in a hybrid format. We hope to be together with you in person at the same venue, but we also aim to be together with our colleagues who prefer to participate online by organizing the scientific program in two halls so that all sessions can be watched from their computers. We would like to emphasize to our colleagues who propose events that all speakers must be present in the halls in person.

We aim to hold an accessible congress and to move forward together in the qualified struggle and journey we are conducting on behalf of our profession. We look forward to seeing you at the 3rd International - 27th National Clinical Education Symposium in Antalya. We are counting down the days for our event, which will be strengthened and beautified with your presence and contributions. We hope to meet at a meeting full of health and professional solidarity.

Kind Regards,
