During the fellowship, doctors will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced child and adolescent psychiatrists to develop their skills in the diagnosis and management of complex psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents.
Through a combination of clinical rotations, didactic lectures, and research opportunities, fellows will gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest advances in child and adolescent psychiatry, including the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for the management of psychiatric conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders. Fellows will learn how to conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.
During the fellowship, doctors will also have the opportunity to work with patients who require specialized care, such as those with co-occurring medical conditions or developmental disorders. Fellows will learn how to effectively communicate with pediatric patients and their families, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide holistic care that addresses the unique needs of each patient.
At the completion of the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship program, doctors will be well-prepared to pursue a career as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, with specialized expertise in the diagnosis and management of psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents. Fellows will be trained to deliver compassionate care that is sensitive to the developmental stage of each patient, and will be equipped to make complex decisions in the management of psychiatric conditions. They will also have opportunities to pursue further specialization in a specific area of child and adolescent psychiatry, such as early childhood psychiatry, adolescent addiction psychiatry, or pediatric neuropsychiatry.
