APA Fellow status is an honor bestowed upon APA members who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology. Fellow status requires that a person’s work has had a national impact on the field of psychology beyond a local, state, or regional level. There will be a ceremony at next year’s 2024 APA convention which will be held in Seattle, Washington.
