form partnership to
Establish a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship
We are extremely pleased to announce that the Georgetown University Hospital Department
of Psychiatry has reached agreement with Adventist Health Care Behavioral Health Services
to establish a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship. This partnership will provide
outstanding training opportunities and allow us to address the growing need for high quality
Child and Adolescent psychiatrists in our community.
The Adventist system has a wide range of mental health services for children and
adolescents. This partnership will allow us to offer the full range of training opportunities
necessary for a fellowship and will provide funding for residents. GUH will provide the
academic base for the program as well as additional clinical training (e.g. outpatient, C-L) and
supervision. The first step in the process will be the recruitment of the Fellowship Director
who will be based at Adventist and have a faculty appointment at Georgetown. Although
there are a number of steps that need to be completed, we are hoping that our first fellowship
class will be able to start in 2010.
