Massachusetts General Hospital Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship has been training fellows for over five decades. The fellowship, steeped in institutional and programmatic tradition, strives to maintain its foundational educational values while advancing—and advancing with—the field of psychosomatic medicine. With its strong roots, diverse training experiences and investment in the intellectual and personal development of each fellow, the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship provides thoughtful and hard-working advanced trainees with the tools needed for a successful career in this rewarding and challenging subspecialty.
Our fellowship focuses on:
As a fellow, you will have one hour of weekly supervision with fellowship director Nicholas Kontos, MD, as well as weekly group walk rounds with emeritus director Greg Fricchione, MD, daily attending rounds, and a thrice weekly "running of the list" with members of the fellowship faculty.
Two didactic hours per week are set aside strictly for fellows, with a year-long focus on neuropsychiatry. In addition, there are special modules on psychodynamic theory and application, leadership and a broad array of core topics in psychosomatic medicine.
As with all the rest of our curriculum, these lectures pull from a deep bench of talented faculty from our division, department and interdepartmental staff. A monthly seminar on “Professionalism, Physicianhood and Psychiatric Practice,” led by Dr. Kontos and Judith Restrepo, MD, further expresses our commitment to the development of your professional identity and ethical rigor.
We offer fellows a variety of educational opportunities throughout the year:
Since the launch of the fellowship, we have trained over 100 fellows in consultation-liaison psychiatry. Our alumni practice in a variety of programs across the country.
