The Department also has a fellowship in Public and Community Psychiatry, a highly competitive Psychology Internship with nine interns annually within the Adult, Child, Combined Child/Adult, and Neuropsychology tracks. In recent years, the Department has created five clinical postdoctoral fellowships in health service psychology and three research postdoctoral fellowships in the Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein. The Department participates actively in undergraduate medical education, including through its involvement in the Nervous System and Human Behavior Course in the second year featuring psychiatry, neurology, and neuroscience, as well as through core clinical rotations, acting internships, and advanced electives in Adult and Child Psychiatry. Interest in psychiatry among medical students is robust with about 10 percent of Einstein's graduating M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. students choosing to train in psychiatry. Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry The Department will launch its first inpatient child and adolescent unit, the Montefiore Einstein Center for Children's Mental Health (CCMH) in Winter 2025, with 21 beds, to be located across from the Einstein campus on space leased from the OMH within the New York City Children's Center. This much needed unit will nearly double the number of acute pediatric psychiatry beds in the Bronx, providing state-of-the-art community focused care for youth in the Bronx and region. The new Montefiore Einstein Center for Children's Mental Health will be a cornerstone within our thriving Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry services and treatments are delivered through a range of Montefiore units, including the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. This Division is integral to the Department's clinical, research, education, and community missions, and benefits from extensive interconnections with the Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM), Montefiore's acclaimed School Health Program, the Behavioral Health Integration Program (BHIP)/Montefiore Medical Group (MMG), the Rose F. Kennedy Children's Rehabilitation and Evaluation Center (RFK-CERC), the JE and ZB Butler Center for Children and Families, and the New York City Children's Center (NYCCC) - Bronx Campus. The Department provides ambulatory services for children and adolescents at three Bronx-based campuses (Moses Child Outpatient Psychiatry Division, Wakefield Child Outpatient Psychiatry Division, and Montefiore Behavioral Health Center) and a Westchester-based faculty practice location (Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care). Attendings and trainees affiliated with the Department also provide pediatric psychiatric services in Montefiore's School Health Program with locations in public elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the Bronx and through the student mental health service at Fordham University. Trainees also rotate under faculty supervision through the Rose F. Kennedy Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism. Specialty programs within ambulatory services including the Eating Disorders Program at Montefiore, Anxiety and Mood Program (AMP) Program, Becoming an Emerging Adult (BEAM) Program, Connecting and Reflecting Experience (CARE) Program, and Adolescent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (A-DBT) Program. Project Rising is an addiction service within the Division of Substance Abuse (DOSA) oriented to youth with problem substance use and their families. The Department's first episode psychosis program is based within the Moses Adult Outpatient Psychiatry division as part of the NYC OnTrack Program. The Department also is one of seven academic centers who participate in NYS Project TEACH providing psychiatric consultation, education, and services to pediatricians and family practitioners throughout New York State. Faculty attendings and Child and Adolescent Fellows also see patients at the New York City Children's Center -Bronx Campus (NYCCC-Bronx), operated by the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) and affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Montefiore's first dedicated Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Emergency Service, located within the CHAM Emergency Department, debuted in 2019. An Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) opened on the Wakefield campuses in the Fall of 2023. As one of only three Office of Mental Health (OMH) licensed adolescent IOPs in New York State, the program provides a much-needed higher level of care for youth in the region. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship has a total of eight fellows and provides rich training in all modalities of individual, group, and family therapy, psychopharmacology, consultation-liaison psychiatry, school health, and sub-specialty areas including eating and developmental disorders.
