Preparing Trainees for Integrated Care: Triple Board and the Postpediatric Portal Program.

Training combining the disciplines of pediatrics, psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry dates back to World War II, but formal combined programs began more than 3 decades ago as the Triple Board Program and 10 years ago as the Postpediatric Portal Program (PPPP). Triple board training was rigorously examined as a pilot program and ongoing surveys suggest that it provides successful training of physicians who can pass the required board examinations and contribute to clinical, academic, and administrative/advocacy endeavors. As evidence grows showing the value of integrated care, physicians with combined training will offer a unique perspective for developing systems.

Prenatal management of fetal intrapericardial teratoma: a systematic review.

Comparing and Contrasting the Use of Problem-Based Learning in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Programs.

Objective: Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the core components of medical education. To facilitate the spread and use of PBL in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) fellowship training, a special interest study group (SISG) was formed at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP). Different approaches to the implementation of PBL between programs represented at the SISG are compared in this report.
