Why pursue a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship?
Child and adolescent psychiatry is a vibrant and impactful field.

Why Choose Duke?
Dr. Tara Chandrasekhar, Program Training Director, Dr. Gary Maslow and a few of our fellows share highlights and personal reflections about the program, as well as what they love about Durham, North Carolina.
“I was thrilled to match at Duke for my fellowship! I am so thankful to learn from incredible faculty, to have the opportunity to serve the community I grew up in, and to hone my skills in such a supportive environment. Lastly, I also love the trails in the area, the Farmers' Market, and of course, the food! I'm grateful to call the Triangle my home again.”
