So having just matched into child psychiatry and going on a whirlwind of interviews during fall 2010, I thought it might be helpful for future applicants to have just some overall impressions of some programs given that there is very limited info on this topic currently on SDN. So in no particular order here are my impressions starting with Yale:
Yale Child Study Center (New Haven, CT)
- I thought this was a wonderful program with a rich history in child psychiatry
- Program director Dr. Stubbe seemed like she would be a great mentor and advocate for you
- Faculty were very friendly and includes Dr. Andres Martin (Editor of JAACAP) who you would work with on the inpatient child unit during the first year of fellowship
- Has 2 tracks - Yale/New Haven (more academic) and Yale/Riverview (more public psychiatry, inpatient work at state hospital for youth)
- Awesome that Yale/New Haven track allows you one month of selective during first year that you can use to do international work overseas
- Expertise especially in autism and Tourette/OCD
- Seems like there would be ample supervision provided and didactics are emphasized and seem like a strong point of the program
- New Haven was a lot nicer than I expected, plus located between NYC and Boston
- All the child fellows I met seemed very happy with their experiences!
