CYNTHIA KING, M.D.
Department of
Psychiatry
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
ATTENDING CHILD PSYCHIATRIST, CPH
M.D., East Carolina University, 1991 At the university I spend lots of time teaching and seeing young
patients. I enjoy teaching medical students and psychiatry residents and
child psychiatry fellows and family practice and pediatric residents.
With medical students, I circuit ride, precept, and participate in the
Neuroscience Block. I coordinate the child psychiatry rotation for the
general psychiatry residents and teach in the Normal Development seminar
for the Child Psychiatry Fellows. Clinically, I see a large proportion
of Spanish-speaking children ages 2-18 at Young Children’s Health Center
and Program’s for Children. A clinical interest that continues to grow
for me is children with autism spectrum disorders. Outside of the
university, I try to spend as much time as possible with my husband
Gerardo and our two sons Marco and Alec and traveling to see our
extended families in North Carolina and Mexico. For relaxation, I enjoy
painting, mosaics, women’s soccer, reading good fiction, and ethnic
cooking.
