Special Features
Our fellowship trains across two different systems: BIDMC, a quaternary academic medical center, and VA Boston, giving fellows a wide range of complex medical-psychiatric cases and patient populations. Fellows rotate through subspecialty consult services including transplant, reproductive/perinatal, addiction, psycho-oncology, neuropsychiatry, movement disorders, and memory disorders, often the same week they're seeing general CL cases on the main service. Each site has its own dedicated director, and the curriculum is milestone-mapped rather than ad hoc, with Harvard Medical School faculty closely involved in both clinical supervision and scholarly work.-
