J. Preston Ebaugh II, MD

I am James Preston Ebaugh and I am an Assistant Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center. I have been at the Child Study Center since starting my fellowship training here in 2020 and continued as faculty after graduating in 2022. My clinical roles include outpatient psychiatry at the Child Study Center, emergency psychiatry in the Pediatric Emergency Department at Yale New Haven Hospital, and consultation in the pediatric clinic at Fair Haven Community Health Care. I work with psychiatry fellows as an outpatient clinic supervisor and as an educator for emergency psychiatry services with scheduled didactics. I truly enjoy teaching and learning alongside the fellows, and I feel grateful to be part of the fellowship’s academic curriculum.

I have enjoyed my time living in Connecticut. I was born and raised in Florida prior to training at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire. I enjoy the city of New Haven with its food options, museums, beautiful campus, and locations to walk around. Outside of the city, I also like going on hikes with my puppy, traveling to nearby beaches, or staying in to watch movies, TV shows, and sports. My wife and I have always felt warmly welcomed within the Yale Health System and the greater New Haven community. I am eager to discuss any of my experiences with those who are interested in joining us at the Child Study Center!
