Welcome to the Emory Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Program! We are excited that you are interested in becoming a child and adolescent psychiatrist and that you are considering our program.
The child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship program at Emory University School of Medicine is a two year program offering a range of clinical activities coupled with didactic experiences that together are designed to produce knowledgeable and skilled child and adolescent psychiatrists who are passionate about caring for children, adolescents, and families as clinicians, educators, researchers, and advocates.
Our program is associated with a diverse set of training sites and faculty, enabling trainees to work with a wide variety of patients throughout the Atlanta area. During the two years of training, the fellows develop an increasing competence in clinical abilities, teaching, research, and administration through a series of graduated learning experiences. Each fellow also receives close supervision from faculty members to foster professional development.
Please take a look at the rest of our website for additional information about the program.
