ChildTrauma Academy Training and Educational Activities

 

ChildTrauma Program Educational Activities (On-site)

Interdisciplinary training is integrated into all of the clinical service and research activities of the ChildTrauma Programs. The trainees have various levels of involvement. Many trainees have only an opportunity to be introduced to the issues associated with maltreatment. Others spend many months or even years with the ChildTrauma Programs. For the last four years, there have been designated ChildTrauma trainees in general psychiatry, child psychiatry and child psychology. The key trainees for the last year are listed below.
