Clinical Rotation |Didactic Program |Goals & Objectives |Clinical Division of Psychiatry and Medicine

 This one-year, PGY-5 fellowship provides comprehensive training in psychosomatic medicine through supervised clinical experience on the inpatient consultation service, in the emergency department, and in a variety of outpatient medical/surgical liaison clinics. As the primary affiliate of Case School of Medicine, University Hospitals provides a rich academic and educational environment. Fellows participate in core outpatient clinics in the Transplant Institute, the renowned Ireland Cancer Center, women’s health in the MacDonald Women’s Hospital and in a general psychosomatic medicine clinic. Our newly-formed Neurological Institute offers the opportunity to participate with a team of neurosurgeons, psychiatrists and neurologists in nine specialty centers, including brain tumor, stroke, movement disorders, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders and memory. Research or an academic project with a faculty mentor is an expected component of fellowship training, and a variety of potential projects is available through our subspecialty liaisons. A structured didactic program specifically for psychosomatic fellows and weekly C/L journal club and case conferences round out the educational experience and prepare trainees for the Psychosomatic Medicine board exam.  Click here to print a brochure.
