Shrink…no, it’s not behavioral peds…the problem is that the only way I’ve heard about it is through one of my good friend’s, and he’s only heard about it from one of his good HS friends, whose mother (a general pediatrician) is going through the alleged program now.

I’ve always had that same question about the triple boarders, if there are major benefits to the pathway (other than time) or if they keep up their board certs.

I’m not sure I understand your last sentence…but I definitely understand what you mean about the lessened emphasis at many programs on the analytical/dynamic model (I had the pleasure of following one resident who really loved that stuff and got to hear his lamentations on the issue frequently while on my Psych clerkship). I’ve personally never heard of anything going the other way, but then again, I was flying around the country this year interviewing for peds residencies and not psych ones ;)
