Special Features
Our fellowship provides an excellent foundation for a career in child psychiatry. Our first year is grounded in acute psychiatry experiences on the inpatient unit, the Partial Hospital Program and on the world class CL service at the 243-bed children's hospital giving unique exposure to a wide range of psychopathology experiences. Our second year has broad clinical exposure to outpatients with opportunities in therapy including an excellent curriculum in family therapy.
