Our physicians specialize in the assessment and care of children with serious
and/or complex mental health conditions, who generally require comprehensive
treatment planning in a University Medical Center setting. We rely on and work
closely with our partners in the community to help carry out many aspects of
the treatment plans developed for our patients, especially those components of
care that are more feasibly conducted outside of the University environment.
Our community partners include primary care physicians, schools, mental health
professionals in practice in the community, municipal mental health services,
social service agencies, inpatient psychiatric units, and residential treatment
centers.
Our physicians perform this role:
