SO316 Brief Oral Poster PresentationEducation and EthicsProgram evaluation (cross-sectional survey) # Building a statewide workforce for integrated child and adolescent mental health: The New Jersey Pediatric Psychiatry Collaborative (NJPPC) interprofessional training and “fellows as teachers” model BUILDING A STATEWIDE WORKFORCE FOR INTEGRATED CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH: THE NEW JERSEY PEDIATRIC PSYCHIATRY COLLABORATIVE (NJPPC) INTERPROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND “FELLOWS AS TEACHERS” MODEL Presenter: Meera Wells Country: United States of America Institution: New Jersey Pediatric Psychiatry Collaborative (NJPPC) Session: 3700 - PARALLEL SHORT ORAL POSTER SESSIONS: EDUCATION & TRAINING Date: Fri, 25.09.2026 A statewide interprofessional training model increased child psychiatry fellows’ confidence in their consultation, teaching, and leadership roles. The aim is to develop a statewide interprofessional training framework aligned with primary care that strengthens professional identity in psychiatry through the roles of clinician, educator, and community mental health leader. The NJPPC model operates within a multicenter pediatric psychiatry network serving urban, suburban, and rural communities; it includes structured didactic sessions, supervised consultation and collaborative care, developmental and trauma-informed frameworks, and case-based learning focused on early childhood mental health and autism assessment. Central to the model is a program in which child psychiatry fellows deliver standardized teaching sessions to pediatrics and family medicine residents across the state. Three standardized sessions on pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and anxiety were delivered between July 2025 and July 2026. The evaluation is based on Likert-scale survey responses from 13 fellows participating in the program (sampling rate: 92.8%). For the statement that they felt more competent in providing consultation to pediatrics and family medicine residents, 9 participants (69.2%) gave the highest rating (5), and 4 (30.8%) gave a rating of 4; for the statement that their confidence in teaching residents had increased, 10 participants (76.9%) gave a rating of 5, and 3 (23.1%) gave a rating of 4. For the statement that their understanding of how child psychiatry and primary care can work together to support patients had improved, 10 participants (76.9%) also gave a rating of 5, while 3 respondents (23.1%) reported writing a blog post as part of the program. The gender distribution of respondents (6 men, 4 women, 3 nonresponses) did not differ significantly from that of the overall program (7 men, 7 women) (P=0.6968, Fisher’s exact test). This statewide interprofessional model may support workforce development and equitable access to child mental health services by strengthening knowledge exchange between psychiatry and primary care.
