Research
Residents are encouraged to take part in ongoing research or to initiate original projects of their own during their elective time each year. Mentors specializing in areas of interest will be provided to residents. At MGH, residents have access to a Biostatistics Team established for consultation and supervision of research methodology. Both MGH and McLean have extensive computer systems for literature searches. Use of such systems is provided by the training program. All research activities must be reviewed with the Training Director to ensure that they do not take precedence over core educational clinical requirements.

There are a wide range of research projects at MGH and McLean. Some are conducted solely within the Child and Adolescent Services, while others are collaborative projects between child and general psychiatry programs and other related medical disciplines including pediatrics and its many subspecialties. Other projects are multicenter studies among Boston teaching hospitals and/or university programs. Page 55 lists some child and adolescent research topics currently under investigation at MGH and McLean.
