• To the Editor: Despite approximately 8000 child and adolescent psychiatrists in the USA, the number may meet only 30% of the country’s pediatric mental health needs by 2020 [1, 2]. To strengthen this educational experience, he established objectives that upon completion of the practicum, the student will (1) show a working knowledge of how to use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), and be able to articulate the differences between DSM-5 and the previous version (DSM-IV), (2) list the major symptoms of fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and other relevant diagnoses in CAP as well as their evolution and the treatments that are used, and (3) describe the genetic and environmental risk factors involved with ASD, and theories on the biological correlates of symptoms encountered in idiopathic ASD. [...]the practicum allowed students to incorporate the knowledge gained from their undergraduate neuroscience coursework into a clinical setting and increased interest in pursuing a career in a neuroscience-related field.
