Educational components of the program include intensive supervision of all cases, report preparation, and court testimony. In addition, fellows spend one day per week attending a comprehensive seminar series covering areas related to civil and criminal forensic assessment methods, research issues, mental health law, and landmark legal cases. The educational program is also attended by post-doctoral level fellows in forensic psychology , in keeping with the multidisciplinary approach to training. Fellows attend multiple statewide forensic mental health conferences and receive an educational stipend to support attendance at national forensic meetings. During the training year, fellows work on an empirical research project or on a review of a topic relevant to law and psychiatry.
Opportunities also exist for fellows to become involved in ongoing faculty research projects.
Supervision of academic work is provided by individual faculty members.
