Downstream effects of high patient volume pressure on PHPs: A child psychiatry trainee's perspective

Abstract

Rhode Island boasts some of the most robust access to specialized child and adolescent mental health care across the country, with one of the highlights being the unique access to various levels of care. Child and adolescent psychiatry applicants from across the country are attracted to the breadth of program variety. In particular, Rhode Island uniquely possesses a significant number of specialized partial hospitalization programs (PHP) for children and teens, some of which are nationally recognized and appeal to patients and families throughout the United States.
