Introduction          
 
Looking for something different? The child and adolescent residency program at Michigan State University is unlike any other in the country.  We are a university-based program training residents in health care institutions in Lansing and nearby communities.

Our inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry rotation is done in cooperation with the Department of 
Psychiatry at the University of Michigan. We utilize multiple community health care facilities including
 Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Community Mental Health Center, DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, 
Eaton County Family Drug Court, and others to help our residents learn how to treat complex 
psychopathology in children and adolescents.

Our residents learn in close association with our five full-time child and adolescent faculty members 
and a number of community-based faculty members.  Our graduates are heavily represented in 
mid-size and smaller communities throughout Michigan. 

Michigan State University is the first land grant university in the United States.  It is the only university 
with three medical schools on campus. The Department of Psychiatry is a jointly administered 
department of the College of Human Medicine and the College of Osteopathic Medicine and our Child 
and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Program is dually accredited by both ACGME and the American 
Osteopathic Association.  Please feel free to look around this website. If you like what you see and
