Fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry
Our fellowship is a unique, longstanding partnership between Georgetown University Hospital and Washington Hospital Center (part of MedStar Health), and the National Institute of Mental Health (part of the National Institutes of Health)
Mission
The mission of our fellowship program is to provide comprehensive training in consultation-liaison psychiatry. Our faculty are passionate about being C-L psychiatrists. We strive to share that passion with our fellows, to teach them to become outstanding C-L psychiatrists, and to mentor them as they embark on exciting careers in C-L psychiatry.
Strengths
Our fellows have an extremely wide range of experiences in consultation-liaison psychiatry, since the patient populations and training sites that our fellows are exposed to are tremendously diverse. We are devoted to ensuring that the experience of each of our fellows is tailored to her or his own interests, and our curriculum incorporates a significant amount of elective time for fellows to pursue those interests. And we are dedicated to providing our fellows with a rich academic experience, in which they are surrounded by excellent faculty and have the opportunity to teach medical students and psychiatric residents.
Vision
Upon completion of the fellowship, our fellows will be well-prepared for the consultation-liaison psychiatry board examination and a full range of academic and clinical careers in C-L psychiatry.
