The Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital Department of Psychiatry is pleased to offer one position each year in the Combined Program in Adult and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
Following completion of your PGI-III years in Adult Psychiatry Residency, you will complete your PG-IV and PG-V years in Child & Adolescent Fellowship.
This 5-year combined program offers progressive integration of work with children, adolescents, and their families beginning in the PG-I year with two months of Pediatrics at nearby Connecticut Children’s outpatient pediatrics office. Connections with the IOL Child & Adolescent faculty and trainees begin early through: our mentorship program, engagement in scholarly activities such as the Child & Adolescent Journal Club, and research with C&A Fellowship faculty. 5-year combined residents are given the opportunity to do a one-month PG-II elective in C&A psychiatry with exposure to child &/or adolescent inpatient units, and outpatient work in a more medically-complex C&A outpatient clinic. 5-year Combined residents will also be given a small caseload of medication management children and adolescents which they will follow beginning in their PG-III year through the end of their C&A fellowship. Finally, 5-year combined residents will get priority to co-lead groups in C&A specialized outpatient settings on our campus and get experience with family therapy early on. In order to fast-track into C&A fellowship, the trainee is required to have first successfully completed their PG-I, PG-II, and PG-III years in adult psychiatry training.
By applying to the 5-year Combined Adult and Child & Adolescent psychiatry program, you are making a commitment to both the IOL/HH Adult Residency and C&A Fellowship. Combined residents will not need to apply again during residency in order to begin fellowship, and combined residents are making a specific commitment to complete their C&A fellowship at the IOL/HH. In order to apply for this program, we ask that you are certain you will be doing a C&A fellowship and that you are willing to commit to beginning C&A fellowship at the Institute of Living after completion of your PG-III year.
Criteria to apply for the 5-year Combined Adult and Child & Adolescent psychiatry program:
- Being certain one plans to become a C&A psychiatrist and would like to “fast-track” (complete residency and fellowship training in five years)
- Complete or plan on completing at least a one-month full-time medical school rotation prior to end of interview season in one or more of the following: inpatient child or adolescent psychiatry, C/L C&A psychiatry, outpatient C&A psychiatry
- Submit a Letter of Recommendation from a C&A Psychiatrist who supervised/can comment on clinical work in a C&A psychiatry setting
To apply for this program, we recommend applying to both The Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital General (Adult) Psychiatry Program (called HARTFORD HOSPITAL-CT on the NRMP site, Program number is 1083400CO) and the 5-year Combined Child & Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry Program (Program number is 1083400C1). On invitation to interview, the Program Coordinator, Nicole Labowski, will gather more information from you in order to set up your combined interview with the Adult and C&A faculty.
One position is available.
Curriculum: PG-I through PG-III
