Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Subspecialty

The Child and Adolescent Subspecialty Program is accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Canada.

Consistent with Royal College requirements, the Child and Adolescent program began training according to the Competency By Design model in 2021. Most residents will take two years to complete the training. It is expected that residents enter this program as PGY 5s and then complete an additional year of training.  Exceptions may be made for a resident seeking to enter the program as a PGY 6.
