Psychiatry

The Yale Child Study Center Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residencies offer a well-balanced professional training experience. There is a formal didactic curriculum covering major areas in child and adolescent psychiatry, consultation experiences in pediatric, school, forensic and other community settings, supervision of clinical experiences in each setting, and a graduated level of responsibility throughout the training years.

It also includes exposure to children on the entire continuum of normal to abnormal development, a wide range of ages, and a range of cultural backgrounds for diagnostic assessment and treatment. Residents develop competence in clinical service, consultation, teaching, research, and administration.

Each resident gains competence in the following core areas:

• Clinical Science/medical knowledge
• Patient Care
• Interpersonal and communication skills
• Practice-based learning and improvement
• Professionalism
• Systems-based practice
