School Health Program
Social Pediatric residents also participate in a continuity clinic at a Montefiore Medical Center School-Based Health Center, one of the largest school-based health systems in the country.
Behavioral Health Focus
Residents work closely with a clinical child psychologist who co-precepts in clinic once a week. There are also monthly didactic sessions with a bio-psychosocial focus. The clinical training site for the Social Pediatrics program, CHCC, has a comprehensive behavioral health team composed of social workers, clinical psychologists and a child psychiatrist. The site also has a team of community health workers to address the social drivers of health of the community.
