PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP
The fellowship is one-year in duration and at the PGY-5 level. We provide a balanced experience in Psychosomatic Medicine, with opportunities for the development of clinical, teaching and research skills. Clinical skills are developed in both ambulatory and acute care settings. In these settings, Fellows may provide consultation to medical colleagues as well as assume continuous care of outpatients. The curriculum, which includes supervised clinical experiences and formal didactic and participatory conferences, allows the Fellow to gain the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to provide expert psychiatric care to patients with comorbid and complex medical and surgical problems and to consult effectively to medical colleagues. We complement the Fellow's predominantly male VA patient exposure with the addition of female patients seen at OHSU. By the end of the fellowship, each resident will be prepared for the subspecialty board examination in Psychosomatic Medicine.
