title: Child Psychiatry and Pediatrics in Medical School Medical Center settings.
abstract: The various ways in which Child Psychiatry can function in relation to Pediatrics in Medical School Medical Center settings are outlined and summarized; the author draws on his own experience and on those of others working in a number of different settings. While the precise details of teaching arrangements and clinical activities depend on the nature of individual settings, the general goals and approaches are common to all, as are the multiple functions of the child psychiatrist in his clinical and didactic teaching, his consultative, diagnostic and treatment activities. Although the greater part of his efforts are usually directed to the attending and resident pediatric staff, nurses and all of the other hospital staff involved in the care of the child patients are included to varying degrees in the teaching and consultative operations. His influence on the hospital administration is of highest importance.
