Are there one or two disciplines of psychiatry you’ll gravitate toward or eliminate within this far-reaching specialty?

"My passion in healthcare has always gravitated towards children and my plan is to pursue fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry after residency training. Having been personally impacted by a sibling with childhood ODD and anxiety, I feel that my place in my career is working with children suffering from mental health disorders. During residency training, I want to get a well-rounded experience and I'm confident that your program can provide that."
