Program Director Message

Dear Prospective Fellows,
Welcome to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Program.
I am delighted that you are considering undertaking your training at our Fellowship Program. We believe that our Program is an excellent foundation in helping you achieve your future goals.
The prevalence of mental health needs among children and young people in our region is very significant. The need for more qualified child and adolescent psychiatrists is exacerbating the current challenges of meeting the region’s needs. Therefore, one of our primary missions of the program is to prepare the next generation of leaders in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry. We are confident that our Program’s graduates will be well prepared to become familiar with the key familial, cultural, and social constructs involved in child and adolescent mental health. We also believe that they will be able to pursue successful careers across a wide range of clinical, teaching and research settings.
The Program offers exemplary foundational training in general child and adolescent psychiatry, as well as training in some selective specialized clinics, consultation-Liaison and inpatient care. In addition to training in psychopharmacology, we further enhance the value of psychotherapy training through case-based learning, didactic educational activities and supervision. We have a diverse and dedicated teaching faculty from various mental health disciplines to provide training, teaching and supervision.
Within our program, you’ll discover abundant opportunities to immerse yourself in groundbreaking research, fostering a platform for exploration and innovation within the field.
We believe that our graduates will make profound and positive differences in the lives of the children they treat and in their community. We are pleased with your interest in becoming a part of our Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Program, and should you choose to submit your application, we look forward to meeting you soon.
