Child and adolescent psychiatry is a relatively new sub-speciality and it is only recently that its practitioners have started to examine the problems of teaching it on the undergraduate curriculum. Questions about when it is best taught during the undergraduate years and what constitutes a core curriculum are still contentious. Indeed some psychiatrists have yet to be convinced that it should be taught at all at an undergraduate level.
