This two-year fellowship program is dedicated
to training motivated residents who will apply their enthusiasm
and initiative to learning normal child development, to acquiring
knowledge of psychopathology of children and adolescents, and
to mastery of evidence-based treatment modalities for disorders
occurring in children and adolescents.
Department and Faculty
The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
is vigorous! In May, 2004, this fellowship received re-accreditation
for a full 5 years. The total number of fellows has increased
from 6 to 8 (4 fellows per year). The Division has also been
awarded a large grant to provide for additional faculty members
and to open a new, 12-bed inpatient unit. At this time, there
are 7 child psychiatrists, 1 behavioral pediatrician, and 6
child psychologists, with the possibility of adding 4 additional
child psychiatrists or psychologists in July, 2006. The teaching
provided by our experienced faculty, both full-time and at training
sites outside of the hospital, integrates their accumulated
knowledge with the educational needs of our fellows. The Division
also benefits from a large research team that is responsible
for running research protocols.
How to Apply
Applications for fellowship are made by residents
who have completed their third year of general psychiatry training.
