About the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship
We are an innovative division that works under the leadership of John V. Campo, MD, an internationally recognized specialist in somatization disorders in children and adolescents. Dr Campo’s leadership as Division Chief and Medical Director of Pediatric Behavioral Health has been structured with the intention of providing mental health care to children in central Ohio and developing creative in-roads into this care by innovative mechanisms of delivery of service as well as research in the field to expand our knowledge base to provide evidenced based treatment to our children. We are now actively engaged as a division in a major academic setting in education, research, and clinical care of children and adolescents in central Ohio.
We are currently offering standard ACGME required rotations in inpatient psychiatry, consultation liaison psychiatry at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, as well as school based consultation in the public school system of Franklin County; community based outpatient psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. Our fellows have experience in evidenced based treatment of children in the juvenile justice system, children who have been abused and neglected as well as children with various developmental disabilities including autism, mental retardation, and genetic anomalies.
Currently, there are many ongoing research projects occurring at both The Ohio State University and the Nationwide Children’s Research Institute (NCRI) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Continuing efforts are being made to better understand suicidality in children and adolescents, effective treatment methods for children with bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and management of children placed on Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for anxiety and depression. Our fellows are given the opportunity to actively participate in these various studies.
The system of clinical care at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is one of the largest and most comprehensive in the United States. Our fellows have the opportunity to learn of care in a traditional outpatient setting with a wide variety of children with a full range of diagnosis. There are also in home services to children who have been in the juvenile court system, abused children and those requiring more intensive outpatient services due to their psychiatric condition. Our unique and innovative program at The Center for Child and Family Advocacy incorporates and houses under the same roof programs that take the report of abuse, perform the physical examination, provide the district attorney’s interview of the child and family, and provide treatment for the abused child. This system of care allows for the least trauma to the child and the most efficient interaction of the professional involved in the assessment and care of the child.
