What is Triple Board/PPPP Training?

  • Triple Board residents spend 5 years in an integrated training program focused on pediatrics, general psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry. At the end of the training, residents are board-eligible in all three disciplines.
  • Post Pediatric Portal Programs begin after pediatrics residency. This post-residency program allows for integrated training in adult and child psychiatry for 3 years, and at the end of training, these residents are board eligible in all 3 disciplines as well.
  • Triple Board/PPPP graduates apply a developmentally informed, biopsychosocial approach to their work in health, illness, and prevention.
  • The training provides a foundation for excellence in clinical care, education, advocacy, public policy, and research.
  • Most importantly, Triple Board training transcends the traditional boundaries between pediatrics and psychiatry to allow graduates to optimize the medical care of children, adults, and families.
