Pediatric psychosomatic medicine refers to the specialized area of psychiatry whose practitioners have expertise in the diagnosis and management of emotional disorders and difficulties with physically ill children. Attendees go onsite at both Children’s Hospital Boston and Massachusetts General Hospital to participate in case-based interactive educational presentations that illustrate pragmatic consultation-liaison approaches to children and adolescents in the pediatric setting. Didactic presentations, including an update on the new AACAP Practice Parameters on the Assessment and Management of Physically Ill Children and Adolescents, supplement the practicum.
