Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Track & Fellowship Program
Curriculum
Our philosophy at Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯ Department of Psychiatry is to provide you with a fundamental knowledge base and to equip you with the skills and tools you need to pursue a journey of lifelong learning. We facilitate an adult learning model with a mix of lecture-based material and group interactive learning through seminars and problem-based learning cases. This model requires the learner to engage in reading and investigating prior to the designated didactic time in addition to preparing questions for discussion.
A child and adolescent psychiatrist is a unique and valuable resource, and it is important that you become proficient in both diagnosis and treatment planning in straightforward and complex presentations. To facilitate your education, we will engage a multidisciplinary team of experts.
Tuesday afternoon didactics are designed to incorporate longitudinal seminar learning, where your knowledge will build over time, disease-based lectures, and special topics. You will be exposed to each disease-based lecture twice over the two-year fellowship curriculum. Some special topics are reviewed twice, and some just once over the course of the two-year fellowship learning period.
