Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Track (CAPT)

Psychiatry Residency Spokane (PRS) prides itself on graduating well-rounded clinicians with broad psychiatric experience who can confidently serve diverse communities and individuals across the lifespan. To this end, we believe that categorical training should offer robust child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) exposure. CAPT is intended for residents who wish to have expanded child and adolescent training experiences and for those interested in completing a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship. Working with Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Spokane (CAPFS), CAPT offers unique clinical opportunities throughout core training and regular engagement with child and adolescent faculty and fellows. Of note, this is not a formal NRMP track but rather an internal interest track that residents can choose to participate in or exit at any point in their training.
