Terence Ching is one of the inaugural recipients of ADAA’s member-sponsored, diversity membership scholarships.
“I applied for the opportunity to have the chance to connect with researchers and clinicians doing cutting-edge work in understanding and addressing problems in living as they intersect with people's diverse cultural backgrounds.”
“I believe that having an ADAA membership allows me to take advantage of various networking opportunities. This actually helps scaffold my development into an early-career researcher and clinician who is able to tap effectively into his professional network for collaboration and peer supervision and consultation.”
“I am completing my clinical psychology internship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center soon, and will be starting as a research postdoctoral associate in summer 2021 at the Yale OCD Research Center mentored by Ben Kelmendi, MD, and Christopher Pittenger, MD, PhD. I'm excited to dive deeper into research and treatment innovations for OCD in the near future!”
