The five year Triple Board Program in pediatrics, psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry enrolls two trainees at the PGY-1 level each year.
• Successful candidates meet all requirements of the pediatric, adult psychiatry, and child psychiatry residency selection process including interviews with faculty from the Department of Pediatrics, Department of Psychiatry & Neurology, and the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
• The curriculum consists of:
– 24 months of training in pediatrics,
– 18 months of training in general psychiatry,
– 18 months of training in infant, child and adolescent psychiatry.
• The curriculum strives to provide a “cohesive, planned educational experience” and not just a series of rotations among specialties.
• Residents are given increasing responsibility for patient care and teaching as they advance through the years. The program – in all disciplines - shifts from hospital-based care to clinic- and community- based care.
• The program's didactic curriculum is organized to teach the basic and clinical sciences of pediatrics, adult psychiatry, and child psychiatry. This includes examining multiple theoretical frameworks as well as pertinent conceptual issues that may not arise in clinical rotations.
• In most seminars, especially during the psychiatric training years, instruction is interdisciplinary in an effort to promote learning, enhance dialogue, and offer multiple perspectives.
• Throughout the five years, effort is made to integrate the three specialties (pediatrics, adult psychiatry, and child psychiatry) continuously, as much as possible.
