About This Program
Our fellowship focuses on the relationship between biopsychosocial factors and medical illness, advanced knowledge of psychopharmacology, and the role of an interdisciplinary team in the patient's treatment and management. Our goal is to provide opportunities, support, and resources to ensure our fellows excel in their understanding of the dynamics of medical and psychiatric comorbidity, in their ability to manage complex care issues, and in their ability to provide effective consultation
