Program Overview
Introduction to the Triple Board Residency Program
The Stanford Triple Board Residency Program is a unique and comprehensive training program that prepares medical students to become clinicians, scholars, and advocates in the fields of pediatrics, general psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry. This 5-year program is designed to provide residents with a broad range of clinical experiences, didactic seminars, and research opportunities to equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their future careers.
Program Overview
The Triple Board Residency Program is based on the principles of developmental sciences and developmental psychopathology. This theoretical framework views human development and its disturbances as flowing from the complex and reciprocal interactions between the family, biology, and the broader cultural, social, and physical environments. The program is divided into three main components: pediatrics, general psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry.
