Outpatient Clinic
In the Outpatient clinic, residents see a variety of new diagnostic evaluations while maintaining a continuity of care follow up clinic. Diagnostics are comprehensive evaluations, which are either completed as part of a multidisciplinary team that include Psychology, Education, and Speech-Language Pathology or as physician-only exams with the option of referring on to the multidisciplinary team. A mixture of medication management and psychotherapy patients are followed by each resident as part of the continuity of care follow up clinic experience.

Inpatient Unit
The inpatient unit is a 15-bed unit with children ranging in age from 5 to 17 years old. While assigned to the unit, residents participate in multidisciplinary rounds each day as well as attend family meetings and assess newly admitted patients. Group and individual therapy is available for patients, as well as educational support and recreation therapy.

Consults
While on the Consult-Liaison service, residents learn about and treat the wide variety of psychiatric disturbances that occur among medically ill children and adolescents while consulting and collaborating with their non-psychiatric peers. Common referral sources include Pediatric Neurology, Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, and General Pediatrics.

School and Community Consultation
As part of the School and Community Consult rotation, residents participate in a weekly multidisciplinary triage team meeting at a local junior high school, assisting the team in assessing the need for further referral and providing general information about the variety of psychiatric disorders that have an impact on children’s abilities to function in the school setting. Residents also have the opportunity to observe a community-based treatment program.

In the outpatient Pediatric Neurology Clinic, residents see a variety of new and existing patients with diagnoses including areas such as neuromuscular disorders, seizure disorders, muscular dystrophies, and degenerative disorders. Residents also have the opportunity to participate in outreach clinics in surrounding communities.
