Patrick Osterhaus, MD

As a new Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellow who joined the program in July 2025, Dr. Osterhaus has already gone above and beyond in the child psychiatry clinic. He builds strong rapport with patients and their families, effectively coordinates care with other specialties, provides valuable resources to families, and maintains exceptional documentation—remarkable achievements so early in his training. His curiosity and eagerness to learn highlight his promise in academic scholarship and underscore his great potential as a future leader.
