Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship


Program Rotations

PGY 4 – The first year of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship covers six months of inpatient work and six months of outpatient work. During these rotations, emphasis will be placed on learning how to do comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, develop treatment plans and implement treatment (psychopharmacological treatment and various therapies). During the outpatient rotation, the resident also works with a pediatric neurologist and works closely with pediatricians on the pediatric consultation service.
