there are other threads in this forum if you do a search. you are boarded in both at the end, and can therefore work in either field, but the main emphasis is on training child psychiatrists with a strong medical background (rather than the other way around). there are only 10 programs that offer it, and i believe only 19 spots each year ...

as far as i know, they are competitive solely because of the sheer lack of spots, not necessarily because there are tons of people who want to do the program. from what i've read, the programs are pretty intense. check out that link and do a search in this forum for more info.

i didnt get any interviews and i would say im a middle of the road applicant. they are considered to be as competitive as top notch (read: ivy) programs in general psych, because of the limited number of spots (as i mentioned above). i believe mt sinai takes 2 a year?

That site only named the original six programs in the pilot program. Do you know what the ten current programs are?
