Stanford Neuropsychiatry Fellowship Program
Program Description
This one-year UCNS accredited fellowship is designed to give the trainee a fundamental background in neuropsychiatry, providing requisite skills and resources that will allow the fellow to practice independently as a neuropsychiatrist.
The fellowship is open to both psychiatry and neurology residents who have fulfilled their ACGME requirements in their respective fields. Electives will vary depending on the background of the selected candidate, i.e., the curriculum for a prospective fellow from psychiatric training would emphasize fundamental neurological basic knowledge and the curriculum for a prospective fellow from neurological training would emphasize fundamental psychiatric basic knowledge.
Curriculum
Clinical Rotations:
Our one-year curriculum gives the fellows the opportunity to rotate on multiple services at Stanford Hospital and the Palo Alto VA Health Care System. Many of the current rotations (subject to change) include:
- Neuropsychiatry Psychopharmacology Outpatient Clinic
- Neuropsychiatry Consult Liaison
- Neurobehavioral Clinic
- Psychotherapy for Neuropsychiatric Disorders (Individual and Group Psychotherapy)
- Rotations in either Outpatient Neurology Clinics and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (for applicants with psychiatry background) or Psychiatry Clinics (for applicants with neurology background) depending on the applicant's background. The curriculum is flexible and can provide emphasis in areas of particular research interests.
Research:
Fellows will be given the opportunity to participate in any number of new and ongoing clinical research studies. They are encouraged to develop their own pilot project and to present data at national meetings.
Didactics:
Fellows participate in dedicated case conferences; journal clubs and didactics in addition to being integral parts of the varied multidisciplinary patient care teams.
