This rotation emphasizes the unique presentations of mental health conditions in the pediatric population, including anxiety disorders, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Through hands-on experiences, case discussions, and interdisciplinary collaboration, students will develop the skills necessary to provide effective mental health care to pediatric patients.
