Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Program

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is a Division of the Department of Psychiatry at the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School.   The Division offers a fully accredited, two-year residency training program in child and adolescent psychiatry.   Entrance to the program commonly follows completion of the PGY-3 year, but exceptions are tailored to the individual needs of the applicant. The training is designed to provide the fundamental knowledge and skills essential to success in academic and practice settings.    

A biopsychosocial, developmental, multi-system framework provides the foundation for the Division's education and training programs.   It is the goal of the program to foster an integrated understanding and utilization of biologic, individual psychodynamic, family systems, psychopharmacologic, cognitive, behavioral, and community perspectives.   The resident is exposed to patients of varied psychopathology, ethnicity and socioeconomic backgrounds.   An average of 4 hours per week of on-site individual supervision for each resident complements the didactic curriculum.
