Programs Supported by the Laughlin Family Foundation
Annual Awards to Outstanding Psychiatric Residents at Leading Medical Schools
For more than thirty years, the Laughlin Foundation has honored outstanding residents in psychiatric training programs. Award recipients are selected by the senior faculty at their university. During the 2005-2006 academic year, the dollar amount of the award was $1,000, and it was accompanied by a certificate that was given to the recipient at their graduation ceremony. Often the cash award is divided between two or more recipients. The following institutions actively participate in this Program:
Albert Einstein School of Medicine Baylor University School of Medicine The University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco The University of Cincinnati School of Medicine The University of Colorado School of Medicine Columbia University School of Medicine Harvard University School of Medicine The University of Illinois Medical School, Chicago, Illinois Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The University of Louisville School of Medicine The Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota McLean Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts Northwestern University School of Medicine Pennsylvania Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine St. Bartholomew's College of Medicine, London, England The Medical University of South Carolina Temple University School of Medicine The University of Texas Medical School, Galveston Branch Wright State University School of Medicine Yale University School of Medicine
The Foundation believes that this is the only national recognition program for psychiatric residents, and we welcome inquiries from qualified institutions that would like to participate in this Program. There is no cost to the participating institution.
Special and General Purpose Grants to Colleges and Universities
Each year, the Foundation makes grants to colleges and universities. While some of these grants are unrestricted, most of them are designed for specific purposes, such as student or faculty achievement recognition awards. The following colleges and universities received such grants in the 2005-2006 academic year:
Albright College Frederick (Maryland) Community College Hood College, Frederick, Maryland Temple University Medical School Ursinus College Washington College

The American College of Psychiatrists The American Society of Psychoanalytic Physicians The American College of Psychoanalysts The Community Foundation of Frederick County The Frederick County Medical Society Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland United Way of Frederick County, Maryland
Support for the Frederick, Maryland Business Roundtable Each month, the Foundation hosts an interactive Business Roundtable discussion from 4:00 to 5:30 PM in the Trust Conference Room of the C. Burr Artz Public Library at 110 East Patrick Street in Frederick. The session is free and open to the public; however, in order to keep the discussion interactive, space is limited to 17 participants, and therefore reservations are required. The Business Roundtables are “interactive exchanges” among senior business executives, based upon the principle that adult business learning is often accomplished best through the exchange of information among well-informed peers.
