Approach to Care
It is indeed a great privilege to be able to bring the joy of play, curiosity and passion not just into our learning about children and adolescents, but also in our teaching. We hope to foster exceptional clinical skills and thoughtful inquiry in the next generation of child and adolescent psychiatrists, in order to provide the best care for our patients.
