The goal of this month is to familiarize students with what a child and adolescent psychiatrist does. This rotation provides a broad exposure to multiple child psychiatric settings.

The core experience involves the student as a participant-observer in a wide variety of outpatient settings, including Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (outpatient clinic and consult service), Erie County Juvenile Detention Center, Autism Diagnostic Clinic and multiple community sites. Students have the opportunity to work with core faculty in the division, while seeing a wide variety of patients and families as well as treatment modalities. At the completion of the month the student is expected to share a brief research summary on a topic of interest.

Upon completion of the clerkship students will have learned what a clinical child and adolescent psychiatrist does on a day-to-day basis. The student will develop their skill in evaluating children/adolescents and will become familiar with current treatment modalities commonly utilized.
