Academic Activities
Over the years, our residents have pursued a variety of academic interests within the 3 specialties. Part of our training is geared towards developing an expertise in an area of child psychiatry, and, ideally, this process develops over the five years of training. Our residents have presented posters, published letters, articles and chapters, and have participated in national committees as a way to enhance their experiences in a particular academic interest. Furthermore, many of our residents have received grants that have enhanced their ability to explore different areas of Pediatrics and Psychiatry.
Publications:
Recently and in the past, residents have published articles in both pediatric and psychiatry journals, along with writing for national newsletters and a chapter of a textbook.
Grants:
In the last several years, two different residents have received funding from the AAP CATCH grant program, which emphasizes the development of community-based programs that increase access to care. Our residents have also been successful in receiving competitive Education Outreach Program grants through AACAP that have enabled attendance to the annual national AACAP meetings.
Committees:
Our residents serve on a number of local and national committees in both pediatrics and child psychiatry. We currently have residents who serve as members on several AACAP components and a work group, the Utah Board for Reach Out and Read, and the Board of Directors for the Utah Psychiatric Association.
