Virginia Commonwealth University Health System Program
About This Program
Our CL psychiatry fellowship is tailored to the specific interests and learning needs of each individual fellow. Fellows choose their own liaison assignments (which can be inpatient or outpatient) and also choose how much time to devote to the regular inpatient consultation service vs. liaison and other interests. Fellows help the attending oversee the trainees who first evaluate consults (M3s, M4s, PGY2s, PGY4s, and PGY3 neuro residents).We are both a tertiary care & urban/rural public hospital
