Psychiatrist-in-Chief
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

“Throughout my career I have always felt that the greatest achievements we make as academic clinicians is seen when we watch our trainees excel and change the world. Stepping into the role of Chair of Psychiatry at a time of incredible change, movement forward, and critical need for services has reaffirmed that ensuring the best possible training environment for the next generation of clinicians, scientists and clinician scientists tackling the incredibly complex, yet rewarding, challenge of child mental illness is at the core of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The incredible breadth of opportunities for our trainees and the depth of our multi-disciplinary training environment reflects the strength of the entire BCH system. Beyond this, the evolving roles of child psychiatrists in so many areas of medicine, academics, policy and practice highlights that fact that this truly is the best profession and, for me, the one that I knew would be the most impactful for children, families, communities, and the world.”

Thanks for exploring the Boston Children’s Hospital child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship! I’m the newest member of our training leadership team and thrilled to be a part of this program as the Chief of Training and Education. Training has been central to my career for over two decades, and the privilege of joining trainees in their journey continues to be one of the most important parts of my professional life. At Boston Children’s Hospital, our child psychiatry program is committed to ensuring that our trainees are ready to serve children and families by offering family-centered, evidence-based clinical care in the context of strong therapeutic relationships across diverse clinical settings and systems. Most importantly, we hope to share the joy of working in interdisciplinary teams who support families in some of their most challenging moments.

“Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) training is critical in providing patients, families, teams, and systems with strong clinicians, team members, and leaders. CAPs provide relief to workforce shortages wherever they go and must be dynamic with a diverse skillset to make the most difference in the lives of children and families. Our first year of training provides a great foundation in outpatient and acute psychiatry, while work in the second year hones skills and empowers individuals in their specific niche interests, with an incredible array of flexible electives.”

Completing my CAP Fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital has been the best life decision I have made!”
