Didactic Modules for Curricular Development in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Education

Abstract
A group of child and adolescent psychiatry educators in the Association for Academic Psychiatry have developed didactic aids, termed modules,for curricular development in child psychiatry training programs. These modules consist of sets of references designed to communicate the essence of a subject area. The design is flexible, allowing the modules to be used by programs with varying amounts of time available for teaching the designated subject. The project has been endorsed by the major organizations representing education in child psychiatry. Eight modules are available for distribution, and a mechanism is in place for creating others. The authors believe this concept will be equally useful in adult psychiatry programs.
