"I had a wonderful experience with the fellowship program. The didactics curriculum was robust and gave room for exploring and learning about diverse topics that were relevant to child and adolescent psychiatry. I learned a lot about the practice of psychiatry and about life in general from the program faculty, and I always felt welcomed and supported.
El Paso is a great city to train and live in. The sun is out most days of the year, the people are very nice, and the food is delicious. My experience was overall a very positive one and I encourage anyone interested in applying to do so without hesitation."

"The field of child and adolescent psychiatry is a critical area of medicine, and I am grateful for the excellent training I received in the program under the directorship of Dr. Cecilia De Vargas. This program has a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum, and didactics that are focused on developmental psychopathologies, assessment, diagnosis, evidence-based treatment modalities, psychopharmacology, and psychotherapy. In the program you work with the community, and this helps you understand the social impact on mental health and develop a sense of cultural competence.
In the program, I received mentorship, guidance in clinical decision making, and feedback
from experience and dedicated faculty which makes you feel welcomed and supported.
I am thankful to the faculty for the training I received and for allowing me to be
part of the TTUHSC family and shaping me in the Psychiatrist that I am.
I was born and raised at El Paso and I can say, it is a great city with amazing people."
