After an initial screening, interviews at MGH and McLean Hospital will
be arranged for qualified applicants. We are particularly interested in
high academic achievement, excellence in clinical skills, a deep career
interest in child and adolescent psychiatry and potential for research
and teaching. Personal traits of maturity, empathy, decisiveness and high
standards of professional performance are very important to us. It is
desirable for the applicant to have had some experience in pediatrics
or family practice, though this is not required.
Highly qualified applicants will be interviewed by faculty members at
MGH and McLean. Applicants will also meet with at least one child and
adolescent psychiatry resident. Each applicant will be interviewed by
the Training Director and at least three members of the Selection Committee,
including the clinical service chiefs, directors of the outpatient clinics,
directors of consultation services, inpatient directors and senior clinical
and research faculty. Applicants are encouraged
to express any potential areas of clinical and/or academic interest, so
some interviews may be tailored to one’s interests. After applicant
interviews, the Selection Committee will review the applications and interview
evaluations and make a decision regarding rank order for the Match.
Applicants should contact Judy Spaulding at MGH (617-726-1620) to inquire
about the status of their application. Once the application packet is
