Research is an integral part of the fellowship with fellows encouraged to design their own projects or to assist with projects already developed by faculty of the CL group. Other training emphasizes teaching opportunities with residents and medical students and participation with colleagues in clinical and research behavioral medicine. This fellowship offers an opportunity for postgraduate psychiatrists to pursue clinical and research interests in the neuropsychiatry of HIV infection. Candidates should have a serious interest in an academic or research career in geropsychiatry. Fellows work under the supervision of clinical investigators where they learn the fundamentals of clinical geropsychiatry in both inpatients and outpatients.
Fellows actively participate in ongoing research.
Fellows in the second year and beyond will be helped to develop their own research projects. In addition, the fellowship provides a valuable clinical experience not only in caring for patients, but also in dealing with the special clinical and administrative issues. Further information is available from Drs. In certain situations, residents may be in this fellowship as early as PGY4. The fellowship is partly funded by a research training grant from the NIMH which was recently renewed.
