From too little too late to early and often: child psychiatry education during medical school (and before and after).
In this article we propose developmentally informed remedies to the challenges that face research training. The initiatives described in it have been implemented to various degrees at our institution, and several are already being replicated or expanded through strategic partnerships across the country. We are fortunate to work in an environment in which child and adolescent psychiatry is visible and well represented, but we are aware than many of the settings in which education and recruitment needs are most pressing may not have the range of our resources. We view our different programs as seamlessly interconnected with one another but present them as separate entities to facilitate the incorporation of different components into local realities.
