Brown University Program

Program Identity & Fit

Brown's Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship is a large, academically embedded program (six fellows/year) built around the E.P. Bradley Hospital and Hasbro Children's Hospital system, offering an unusually comprehensive continuum of care spanning inpatient, partial hospital, residential, consult-liaison, emergency, and integrated medical-psychiatric ("Hasbro 6") settings for patients from infancy through young adulthood. The program is distinguished by a deep commitment to integrated psychological-somatic-social care, highly individualized second-year tracks with subspecialty exposure (forensics, autism/CADD, gender clinic, sleep medicine, school consultation, perinatal psychiatry), and a robust, NIMH R25-funded Research Training Track backed by a 150+ member faculty division with over $31 million in active annual grant funding. Career orientation is explicitly bifurcated: a strong clinical/community pathway alongside a physician-scientist track intended to feed academic and research leadership positions, reflected in graduates who have gone on to academic faculty, research, and administrative roles nationally. The program emphasizes trainee wellness (process groups, protected didactic time, therapy support) and collegiality alongside rigorous, high-acuity clinical training.
