Our fellowship focuses on early identification and prevention of mental illness, utilization of evidence-based treatments, and integration of care between colleagues in other disciplines. We do this with understanding of the developmental theories, social systems, and ethical principles underlying clinical practice and research. Our goal is to provide opportunities, support, and resources to ensure our fellows can excel in child and adolescent psychiatry after graduation in all settings
