The Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has approved a new fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry for the Department of Psychiatry, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Paul L. Foster School of Medicine. The program is actively recruiting applicants, graduates of a psychiatry residency. Cecilia de Vargas, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry has been appointed program director.
“The border region will benefit enormously from the fellowship training program especially if the fellows stay in this area because there is a great need for child and adolescent psychiatrists to serve a vast pediatric population with psychological, emotional and psychiatric problems,” said Dr. de Vargas.
