The Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)
requires that all training programs meet standards in the area
of scholarship. According to the guidelines, faculty is responsible
for ensuring there is an environment of inquiry and scholarship.
Scholarship is required of both faculty and residents. In the Department
of Psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance and at Harvard Medical
School, scholarship is defined broadly and may include the scholarship
of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of
teaching, and the scholarship of application. Guidance and technical
support should be provided to residents by faculty. The scholarship
requirement of the child psychiatry fellowship program is designed
to meet the ACGME requirements and provide flexibility for residents
to pursue special scholarly interests. While all clinical service
experiences, supervision, and seminars are an integral part of developing
scholarship, specific components are intended to address the development
of attitudes, skills and behaviors that lead to a potential academic
career. These are:
- Introduction to Research, Summer Seminar, First Year
- Clinical Scholarship Seminar, Sept-June, both years; Critical
Evaluation of a paper in answer to a clinical, PICO-based question
in the First Year; presentation for scholarship requirement in
Second Year.
- Presentation during Preschool c/l Rotation, Eating Disorder
rotation, and Harvard Consolidated Seminar in First Year
- Option of preparing a poster for Mysell Research Day.
- Completion of scholarly project during Second Year elective
time.
