Pearsall Fellowships
Thomas J. Pearsall, Jr., Psychiatry Fellowships
Psychiatrists seeking to explore psychoanalytic theory and practice are invited to apply for a Pearsall Fellowship. Thanks to the generous support of Thomas J. Pearsall, Jr., the PCC extends fellowships to psychiatry residents in postgraduate year 3 and 4 and early career psychiatry faculty within residency training programs across North and South Carolina.
The 2025-26 Pearsall Fellowship features a new format this year with optional second- and third-year awards for those students committed to furthering their study of psychoanalysis with the PCC. Additionally, bi-monthly case conferences with PCC faculty provide a firsthand glimpse into the application of psychoanalytic theory and practice within the consulting room.
To further enhance their professional development, Pearsall Fellows are given a Professional Membership to the PCC, granting access to resources such as the Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing (PEP) database and free registration for continuing education programs.

The application period closes on June 6.
The Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, gender, gender identity, marital status, religion, sexual orientation or identification, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and financial aid policies.
We are grateful to Thomas J. Pearsall, Jr. for his support of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy through the training and education programs of our Center. Over his lifetime, Mr. Pearsall has developed a deep appreciation of the arts and sciences and has a particular interest in promoting the availability of high-quality psychoanalytic treatment. Recognizing the increasing cost of the required education and training for this field of study, he hopes these fellowships will help increase the number of psychoanalytic clinicians practicing in the Carolinas.
