Summary
Combined medical training programs, like the Triple Board Program, successfully prepare physicians for board exams and diverse careers. These integrated training pathways are increasingly valuable for developing systems of care.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Integrated Care Models
Background:
- Combined training in pediatrics, psychiatry, and child/adolescent psychiatry has roots in WWII.
- Formal programs like the Triple Board Program (over 3 decades) and Postpediatric Portal Program (PPPP, 10 years) evolved.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the Triple Board Program.
- To assess the preparedness of physicians from combined training programs.
Main Methods:
- Rigorous examination of the Triple Board Program as a pilot.
- Ongoing surveys of program graduates and their contributions.
Main Results:
- The Triple Board Program provides successful physician training.
- Graduates are well-prepared to pass board examinations.
- Physicians contribute effectively to clinical, academic, and administrative/advocacy roles.
Conclusions:
- Triple board training is a validated and successful model.
- Physicians from integrated programs offer unique perspectives for healthcare systems.
- The value of combined training aligns with the growing need for integrated care.

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...
