Abstract
Fast-tracking is an option for residents to pursue fellowship training in place of their final residency year. It is currently permissible to fast-track into a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship, but this remains a controversial idea for other psychiatry subspecialties. In 2022, the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry featured a plenary session debate about the pros and cons of fast-tracking. Here, the authors present some of the information discussed at that session and highlight the potential benefits and pitfalls of fast-tracking into consultation-liaison psychiatry.
