For the last 15 years, the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has held a weekly teaching conference that is overseen by the Division Director. These sessions are a combination of case conferences, updates on issues in the field, and invited lecturers. Case conferences start with a resident presentation of an active service case, faculty interview of the patient and/or family, followed by a faculty led discussion. These cases typically involve diagnostic or treatment dilemmas and call upon the expertise of faculty within the Division for informal consultation and teaching. Updates in the field, called “Hot Topics” are a combination of didactic and discussion covering new research findings, relevant controversies, and other such areas. Guest speakers in recent years have included leadership at NIMH, faculty from the Bloomberg School of Public Health, colleagues from Neurology and General Psychiatry, as well as leaders in the field from other academic institutions. The conference is open to faculty, students and staff in the Division, the Department, and the greater School of Medicine and University. Attendance ranges from 25-40 people, which allows for an open discussion and sharing of ideas.

This research seminar, which began in 1999, is attended by K-awardees, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and residents in the division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Although the primary focus is on interventions research, other topics related to research methodology, child development, and child psychopathology are also covered. The main purpose of the seminar is to provide a structured environment for trainees to learn about the process of research, which includes: identifying a general area of research; formulating testable hypotheses; designing a study that will effectively test the hypothesis; preparing an IRB application; data analysis and interpretation; preparation of a research grant application. These topics are covered by having individual participants present a seminar on their own completed or intended research and then inviting feedback from their colleagues.
Johns Hopkins policy prohibits pharmaceutical and other sales representatives from attending these conferences.
