The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Program at the University of Iowa is a two-year, ACGME-accredited program that offers comprehensive exposure to psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.

The program balances a strong neurobiological and sociocultural focus with solid psychotherapy training. Residents work as a team alongside other childhood specialty services–including child psychology and neuropsychology, education, social work, nursing, and speech pathology–to ensure optimal care for patients. Research opportunities are also available for those interested.

There are two tracks: the University of Iowa Main Campus Program in Iowa City and a Central Iowa Program in Des Moines
