Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Program

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Training Program

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Resident Training Program received its latest accreditation in October 2006 and is fully accredited for an additional 5 years. The program has 6 residents, 3 in the first year and 3 in the second year. Most of our residents that have graduated from our program have successfully obtained certification from the Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in Adult and Child Psychiatry. Generally, 1/3 of our residents go into Public Psychiatry, 1/3 go into Private Psychiatry and 1/3 go into Academic/Research psychiatry. The program offers a didactic and clinical experience that above and beyond the routine/basic requirements of the ABPN RRC recommendations for successful completion of a resident’s two year required and expected training.
