Integrating the Autism Case Training (ACT) curriculum into pediatric, psychiatric, and neurology residency training and fellowship programs.

Examples

  • Act Early Ambassadors who were affiliated with or worked with universities integrated the ACT curriculum into pediatric residency training programs, psychiatric fellowship programs, and neurology fellowship programs. Programs commonly provided one module per session, typically in a grand rounds format, with four sessions scheduled over time. Ambassadors leveraged existing relationships with key staff members at hospitals to introduce and integrate the curriculum.
