This program originated in the American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry.
David Pruitt, M.D., then President, and Virginia Q. Anthony,
the Executive Director,
empowered us to develop an educational program that would promote
the critical
collaboration between pediatrics and child psychiatry. Three
people have been
instrumental in the success of the Collaboration Essentials
program: Kayla Pope,
J.D., who was present at the inception, and Patricia B. Davidson,
M.P.A., the AACAP’s
Director of Research, Training and Education with the support
of Kate Figge. The
physicians on the AACAP’s Liaison with Primary Care Physicians
Committee,
especially the co-chairs, Frances Wren, M.D., and Richard Martini,
M.D., have
provided encouragement, input, and support for the program.
We thank the American Academy of Pediatrics for their endorsement
of this program.
We are appreciative of the review of this manual by the AAP’s
Section on Residents
and the Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family
Health. Drs.DeMaso
and Wren have had the privilege as serving as liaison representatives
to this
latter AAP committee.
We would like especially to thank Pfizer Pediatric Health
for an unrestricted educational
grant to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,
particularly
Randall Kaye, M.D., of Pfizer, Inc., who spearheaded efforts
to ensure that this
program was adequately supported.
Our thanks as well to Rebecca Edelson, M.D., for piloting
the Collaboration
Essentials program at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore
in New York.
We want to thank the pediatric and child psychiatry trainees
who participated so
enthusiastically in the pilot studies of this curriculum.
Finally, should you have comments and/or requests for additional
copies of the written
manual, please contact the American Academy of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry,
Department of Research, Education, and Training, 3615 Wisconsin
Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20016-3007. This curriculum can also be directly
