Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Welcome to Savannah and Gateway!

We are excited that you are interested in becoming a child and adolescent psychiatrist, and that you are considering our program. 

Gateway is proud to be a community based program focused on addressing the significant shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists in our community and in our state. 

Our program offers a wide range of clinical activities, mentorship, and a weekly didactic series designed to ensure our mission of producing well-educated, skilled, and passionate child and adolescent psychiatrists.  

Gateway’s experienced, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic faculty are dedicated to the education of our fellows and are readily available for supervision, mentorship, and professional development. 

As a community service board, Gateway collaborates with a multitude of community programs allowing our fellows to have unique experiences throughout their education while making a positive impact on patients, families, and systems. 

Thank you again for you interest in our program. We hope you will visit our beautiful city and our unique program.
