Abstract
Pediatricians represent a potential source of high-quality recruits to child and adolescent psychiatry, although only about 120 physicians are board-certified in child psychiatry, adult psychiatry, and pediatrics. However, the growing need for pediatricians to understand and treat psychosocial and psychiatric symptoms may make them increasingly receptive to pursuing training in child and adolescent psychiatry. To capitalize on this opportunity, organized psychiatry and pediatrics must work together to tailor training programs for pediatrician-child psychiatrists that do not lengthen the period of training unreasonably. The current experimental program to train triple-board-eligible psychiatrists is discussed.
