Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship
What sets us apart?
The EVMS Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship is an integral part of an unprecedented commitment to children’s mental health. With tremendous community support and involvement, Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters has developed a full continuum of care housed in the Children's Pavilion, a family-centered, state-of-the-art building for children’s mental health and related services. The clinical programs are fully staffed to ensure that innovative training experiences include integrated care and community consultation with a strong focus on interdisciplinary care and the role of social determinants of health. Through this experience, our fellows are ready to excel in the evolving role of child and adolescent psychiatrists.
Where you'll train
The Children's Pavilion at Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters
The CHKD Children’s Pavilion is designed from the ground up to meet the needs of patients, their families and their caregivers across the full continuum of care from prevention to specialized inpatient programs. It is home to inpatient rotations (including general, neurodevelopmental, and Psych-Med programs), PHP (coming soon), traditional outpatient experiences, and collaborative care in primary care.
Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters
Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters is the only freestanding children's hospital in Virginia. With 206 beds, it is the regional pediatric referral center for coastal Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. The hospital, a pediatric Level I trauma center, is home to the area's largest and most advanced neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, as well as the state's only acute inpatient rehabilitation unit, and an unprecedented transformation of the mental health services.
See yourself in Hampton Roads
The Hampton Roads region that EVMS serves is a vibrant community with 1.7 million residents scattered across nine cities and five counties in southeastern coastal Virginia.
Miles of waterfront, historical and cultural attractions, parks and outdoor recreation areas, lively nightlife, seasonal festivals and family-friendly entertainment make it clear that there's something for everyone here in Hampton Roads.
At EVMS, we know life happens, and we want you to be covered when it does. That’s why we offer competitive benefits packages for our residents and fellows.
A supportive environment
Work-life balance is important during your fellowship, and we are committed to supporting our fellows throughout their time at EVMS. Through EVMS' Wellness Works program, our residents and fellows receive the same wellness resources as our faculty and staff.
In addition, our Resident Wellness program for residents and fellows gives you access to support groups, after-hours counseling services, running clubs, leadership coaching and more.
Promoting diversity and inclusion
Our training program diligently recruits diverse residents and esteems the unique value everyone adds to our residency family, our healthcare system and our community.
We believe medical training includes learning and teaching how to stand firm in opposing hatred and violence, thus empowering us to proudly serve Hampton Roads' diverse population, which includes minorities, economically disenfranchised individuals, transgender youth, immigrants and global refugees.
