REACH Mini-Fellowship in Primary Pediatric Psychopharmacology (PPP) emphasizes safe and effective use of proven psychiatric medications for children which is supplemented by the best therapeutic, social learning and local supportive skills available. Provided by an internationally renowned medical team of clinical researchers and practitioners, PPP is tailored to meet the needs of clinicians who are pressed for time but strive to give each patient the optimum care.

The fellowship consists of the following:

• A dynamic 16-credit, 3 day interactive program to identify specific training needs and to build skills and confidence in diagnosing and treating pediatric behavioral health problems. View a SAMPLE AGENDA. Schedules and programs for single disorders (also of less duration and cost) are available by contacting the PPP program manager.
• A 6-month long, clinical case-based, distance learning program. Using group teleconferences to consult with nationally known pediatric psychopharmacology and pediatric experts on a bimonthly basis, participants will engage in case-based clinical rounds that will help address problems and questions encountered in daily practice.
• A comprehensive toolkit and a set of Web-based learning tools designed specifically for this training. The toolkit includes user-friendly handouts and guides from national experts along with relevant assessment instruments, dosing and side effect charts, medication comparison tables, and informational handouts for patients and parents. For example, the GLADPC toolkit will be discussed and applied with patient vignettes.
