DIDACTICS

The RUSH Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the University of Illinois (UIC) Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry collaborate to provide seminars for first and second year child psychiatry fellows from both programs. The UIC campus is in close proximity to Rush, providing easy access for residents. The shared didactic program is one day per week. Faculty from both institutions provides instruction for the residents. An equal amount of seminar time is spent at each institution. Fellows benefit from this experience that enhances the pool of faculty for teaching and provides fellows with a larger peer group for learning and educational exchange. In addition, Rush fellows have separate didactic instruction, conferences and supervision with Rush faculty.
