Fourth year residents will be responsible for providing child mental health consultation to pediatric patients in the inpatient and outpatient settings. The Director of Consultation-Liaison supervises each consultation and coordinates all referrals from pediatric inpatient and outpatient settings.
During the academic year, pediatricians will be invited to speak at the Child Clinical Grand Rounds about their areas of special competence. Discussion will center on the interaction of pediatric patient care and child and adolescent psychiatry, consultation liaison and common areas of interest.
The fifth year resident will rotate through a one month intensive consultation-liaison experience including pediatric triage and emergency consultation, making rounds with a pediatric team, and attendance at the hospital-wide Pediatric Mental Health Conference. The fourth year resident is on call for the consultation-liaison service when not on inpatient rotation. The frequency of new consultations is approximately one per week.
