Emergency Psychiatry Fellowship

Become a Pioneer in Emergency Psychiatry

 

There is a significant and increasing need for physicians who can bridge the gap between emergency medicine and psychiatry for patients suffering from acute behavioral health crisis. The one-year fellowship for psychiatry graduates will position you as an expert to help develop and shape this emerging specialty.

As a Fellow, you will be trained in the assessment, management, and disposition of emergency psychiatric patients through hands-on experience in both the medical ED and various acute psychiatric settings. Take advantage of an opportunity to become a pioneer in a unique and emerging specialty that will transform how Emergency Departments treat psychiatric patients.
