Psychiatry Fellowships
Rotations
In the first year of training, fellows rotate through both public and private inpatient psychiatry settings. The Child and Adolescent Inpatient Services (CAIS) of the Milwaukee County Mental Health Center includes a busy inpatient service and the River Hills School. Rogers Memorial Hospital includes inpatient and day hospital experiences. Additionally, fellows rotate through the busy Consultation/Liaison Service at CHW, work with the county Mobile Urgent Treatment Team, and have year-long experiences at CHW in outpatient psychotherapy and psychopharmacology that continue in the second year.
The second year is devoted to outpatient services. In addition to the core experiences in psychotherapy and psychopharmacology at CHW, there are rotations through our Child Protection Center, Child Development Center, programs for persons with visual and hearing impairments, pediatric neurology, school consultation, a residential treatment center, a day treatment program for the developmentally disabled, a wrap-around community consultation service, Ethan Allen School (a boy's prison), and the MCW/CHW research clinic. There is also elective time to follow one's own developing interests in more depth.
Teaching
Intensive supervision and mentoring throughout the two years involves faculty with a wide variety of clinical and theoretical orientations at the college and on the clinical faculty. There is an extensive two-year didactic program to complement and supplement learning in the rotations. Seminars include Normal Development; Developmental Psychopathology; a three semester cycle of Psychotherapies; a four semester cycle of psychopharmacology and neuropharmacology; a two semester cycle of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry including Pediatric Hospital, Pediatric Outpatient Office, Emergency Psychiatry, Community Consultation, School Consultation, Addictions, and Forensic Consultation; Substance Abuse; Psychological and Neuropsychological Testing; Professionalism (Ethics, Law and Critical Reasoning, and Multicultural Competence); a Practice Seminar; Research and Evidence-based Psychiatry; and a very active case conference. Fellows participate in teaching and supervision of medical students, pediatric residents, general psychiatry residents, and fellows in Pediatric Neurology.
