Overview
Most seminars take place in a block either on Tuesday mornings (first years) or Thursday mornings (second years). Fellows are excused on their clinical responsibilities during those times. Course leaders often bring in other presenters to enhance the course. The format of these didactics includes formal lectures, live or recorded patient observation, discussions, case presentations, and on-site learning at various locations.
Our programs recognized leadership on the national level has led to some shared seminars with other child fellowships across the country. The Advanced Developmental Neuroscience is taught not only to our own fellows but typically to several other child & adolescent psychiatry fellowships across the country using eHealth technology. Beginning in 2017, the Positive Psychiatry and Wellness seminar is co-taught and simultaneously broadcast to fellows at New York University and Georgetown University.
