Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship

The program is committed to training professionals who, as medical specialists, are concerned with the healthy development of children, adolescents and their families and who diagnose and treat psychiatric disturbances of childhood and adolescence.

The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry includes an unparalleled array of clinical services on our main campus at Westchester Medical Center. There are separate acute psychiatric inpatient units for Adolescents and Children along with an Outpatient Clinic at the Behavioral Health Center. We provide Consultation-Liaison services to the pediatric patients at the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, where fellows also rotate with the Pediatric Neurology service.

Fellows also spend time at a foster care mental health clinic at the Westchester Institute for Human Development. Nearby institutions such as the Blythedale Children’s Hospital, a specialized physical medicine and rehabilitation hospital for children, and The Children’s Village, a residential treatment center, enhance our trainees’ ability to learn to provide excellent care across multiple systems. Fellows in our program also have the opportunity to create elective rotations using the amazing local resources available on our campus and in surrounding area.
