Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry Fellowship Program
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is
a Division of the Department of Psychiatry at New Jersey Medical School.
The Division offers a fully accredited, two-year fellowship training program
in child and adolescent psychiatry. Entrance to the program commonly
follows completion of the PGY-3 year. The training is designed to provide the fundamental
knowledge and skills essential to success in academic and practice settings.

the program to foster an integrated understanding and utilization of biologic,
individual psychodynamic, family systems, psychopharmacologic, cognitive, behavioral,
