Research
The Department of Psychiatry values research as the foundation
for improving the quality of clinical care and considers it essential
for determining the efficacy of methods of care and for disseminating
these methods to the larger professional community. Throughout their
training years, Fellows are encouraged to pursue research interests.
Our mentoring system has successfully supported Fellows applying
for research awards, Livingston and DuPont-Warren Fellowships from
Harvard Medical School, and American Psychiatric Association/NIMH
Research Training Grants. Cross-fertilization among child psychiatry
and developmental psychology faculty at Harvard has helped increase
resources and choices.
Elective
Fellows interested in pursuing academic, research, and/or administrative
interest in their first year will be supported in their endeavors.
Second year Fellows have one day a week of scheduled elective time
to pursue such interests.
