Training Program

Program Description

PGY-I

Four months of the PG-I year are devoted to psychiatry. Residents begin with a 3 month rotation on an inpatient adult psychiatry unit at the Veterans Administration Connecticut Mental Health Center. Residents are then able to transition to the Yale Department of Pediatrics for 6 months of general pediatrics. This includes 4 inpatient months, one emergency pediatrics month, and a pediatrics acute care month. Residents transition back to child psychiatry with a one-month rotation on the Child Psychiatry Consult-Liaison service. Residents then complete the intern year with the 2-month neurology requirement and are able to spend one of these two months with the Child Neurology service.
