Description of Program

Grounded in a long-standing collaboration between Montefiore and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship Program has a history of excellence in educating future leaders in the field. Working within a premier academic hospital, fellows are provided substantive exposure to psychosomatic medicine, addiction psychiatry, transplant psychiatry, reproductive psychiatry, rehabilitation psychiatry, psycho-oncology, HIV psychiatry, ICU psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, palliative care and pain medicine. Integral to our program is a commitment to scholarship, research and quality improvement. Over the course of the year, our fellows master the diagnosis and management of the psychiatric aspects of medical illness through hands-on teaching, innovative didactics and personalized supervision.

Our program offers abundant educational opportunities that go well beyond the core curriculum. We help each fellow create an individualized learning experience that nurtures their passions and interests through elective time and scholarly projects. Fellows are encouraged to submit abstracts for presentation at national and international meetings, and time and financial support are available to those wishing to attend the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Annual Meeting. Interested fellows have the option to pursue formal graduate-level training in bioethics through a year-long, off-campus interdisciplinary course, where graduates earn a certificate in and credits toward their master’s degree in bioethics. For the 2024-2025 year, we will offer a Reproductive Psychiatry track within our fellowship. Over the course of their training, fellows work closely with our richly diverse Bronx community and leave our program with a deep understanding of the social determinants of health.
