Charles W. Carl, Jr., MD Fellowship

This intensive one week program will provide a unique introduction to child development and child mental health for students, with an emphasis on detection, prevention, and treatment of developmental and mental disorders in children. The course will be of greatest interest to students interested in education, nursing and health sciences, social work, psychology, and related professions.  Applicants will be accepted from students and an accompanying faculty member from Native American Tribal college programs.   Following a morning of welcome and orientation the student/faculty pairs will be enrolled in one of the following week long training experiences:

• Child Mental Health (inpatient, outpatient)
• Nursing
• Family support/preservations (intensive support services) and child custody
• Neurobiology (tours and lectures in genetics and neurobiological research groups)
• Developmental Disabilities (autism, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities)
• Substance abuse treatment approaches
• Early childhood
• Childhood Trauma/Community Policing
• Social Policy
  

The entire group will meet each day for lunch with a series of faculty speakers providing overviews of the range of research and clinical activities at the Center.

We particularly wish to encourage pairs of students and teachers to apply.  Students or faculty can also apply independently.   A total of 12 to 14 persons will be selected to participate.  Included in this internship for each student selected will be round trip transportation, housing at a Yale University (air conditioned) dormitory, and a stipend to cover the cost of food for the week period.  Students will be requested to arrive by Sunday afternoon July 28th and for those wishing to do so an optional day trip to New York City (by train) can be arranged for Saturday August 4th. 

To apply please click on the application link below and then be sure to click ‘submit’ at the end.  In addition students should send two (2), one-page letters of academic recommendation by email to Mrs. Lori Klein, lori.klein@yale.edu (faculty members need not send recommendations).  A resume or CV would also be helpful if you have one, however this is not a requirement. 

Included in this internship for each student selected will receive round trip transportation, housing at a Yale University dormitory, and a stipend to cover the cost of food for the two week period. 

Interns will be selected and notified by June 1st at which time there will be further information provided to those selected candidates including instructions on arranging travel and information on additional required paper work.
