The Canadian College of Neuropsychopharmacology (CCNP) and the editorial board of the Journal of Psychiatry & Neuroscience (JPN) are proud to announce that Dr. Yvon D. Lapierre, Editor Emeritus of the journal and founding member of the CCNP, was invested as a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) at the annual meeting of the association in May 2004.
The Distinguished Life Fellowship was established by the APA to recognize members who have made a significant contribution to their profession and to the public good, and whose age plus years of active membership equal 95. Distinguished Life Fellows are leaders in their fields, whose scientific achievements and dedication to their patients have set a standard of excellence for the profession of psychiatry. The CCNP and the JPN editorial board congratulate Dr. Lapierre on his receipt of this prestigious and well-deserved honour.
