Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship
The Department of Psychiatry offers residency training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for selected residents who have completed at least the PGY-1 year of training. ACGME approved for eight positions, our program prepares residents according to guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Child Psychiatry and by the Committee on Child Psychiatry of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. The training includes normal and abnormal child development with didactic seminars on cognitive, psychodynamic, and social and biological treatment approaches, including anatomical and biochemical studies. Supervised observations of normal children of all ages from birth through high school are provided. Clinical experiences are arranged with children and adolescents from the most severely disturbed, such as developmental disorders and central nervous system disorders, to mildly disturbed, neurotic patients. Both child psychiatry and pediatric neurology faculty provide supervision with input from clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, speech pathologists, psychiatric nurses and other professionals.
Building on the resources of the Department of Psychiatry, the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry offers a diverse faculty, a comprehensive didactic curriculum, and modern inpatient and outpatient clinical facilities. Our program produces graduates who are clinically astute, academically well-rounded, with strong professional values and ready to assume strong leadership roles in the field.
