The authors describe the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies (CAMS) undergraduate college minor at New York University.
The authors detail the development, structure, and operation of the CAMS minor. They describe the importance of identifying program goals, building coalitions, creating an advisory board, selecting teaching materials and instructors, and establishing a viable financial model.
The authors present student evaluations from the first course, which demonstrate great satisfaction with the program.
The successful development of the CAMS minor demonstrates that Schools of Medicine (more specifically, the departments of Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) can have a positive impact on undergraduate student education, which may later translate into an increased number of students who consider entering medical school and child psychiatry.
作者介绍纽约大学的儿童与青少年心理健康研究（CAMS）本科辅修专业。
作者详细阐述了CAMS辅修专业的发展、结构和运作。他们描述了确定项目目标、建立联盟、创建咨询委员会、选择教材和教师以及建立可行财务模式的重要性。
作者展示了第一门课程的学生评估结果，这些结果表明学生对该项目非常满意。
CAMS辅修专业的成功发展表明，医学院（更具体地说，精神病学系以及儿童与青少年精神病学系）可以对本科学生教育产生积极影响，这可能会使后来考虑进入医学院和从事儿童精神病学工作的学生数量增加。
