Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) Track

The UI Department of Psychiatry offers an Intellectual and Development Disability (IDD) Track to psychiatry residents who are interested in obtaining specialized training, education and experience in working with individuals with an intellectual and/or development disability. UI Health Care Medical Center is home to numerous specialized programs which all focus on improving the lives of individuals with IDD through clinical care, education, advocacy, and research. This track can be tailored to focus on clinical, advocacy, and/or research experiences depending on the learner’s interests. For residents that want to focus on research, this track can be combined with the Research Track at UI Health Care Medical Center.

The IDD Track supervisor will work with each resident in this track to tailor their experiences to their individual interests. In addition there will be a monthly IDD journal club offered to all IDD Track participants.
