The Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)
requires that all training programs meet standards in the area of
scholarship. According to the guidelines, faculty is responsible
for ensuring there is an environment of inquiry and scholarship.
Scholarship is required of both faculty and residents. In the Department
of Psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School,
scholarship is defined broadly and may include the scholarship of
discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of teaching,
and the scholarship of application. Guidance and technical support
should be provided to residents by faculty. The scholarship requirement
of the child psychiatry fellowship program is designed to meet the
ACGME requirements and provide flexibility for residents to pursue
special scholarly interests.
While all clinical service experiences, supervision, and seminars
are an integral part of developing scholarship, specific components
are intended to address the development of attitudes, skills and
behaviors that lead to a potential academic career. These are:
1. Introduction to Research, Summer Seminar, First Year
2. Clinical Scholarship Seminar, Sept-June, Clinical Scholarship
Seminar: Critical Evaluation of a paper in answer to a clinical,
PICO-based question in the First Year; presentation for scholarship
requirement in Second Year.
3. Case write-up and presentation - Critical Clinical Case Review
Conference (required presentation)
4. Presentation during Preschool c/l Rotation, Eating Disorder
rotation, and Harvard Consolidated Seminar in First Year and in
Second Year to CHA Faculty.
5. Option of preparing a poster for Mysell Research Day.
6. Completion of scholarly project during Second Year elective
time.
