Our program is committed to providing a supportive learning environment where you can develop diagnostic skills, refine therapeutic interventions, and cultivate leadership abilities.

Rotations will be predominantly inpatient, with time divided between the James Haley VA Medical Center Hospital and Tampa General Hospital. The James A Haley VA is a 499 bed hospital providing care for the valiant veterans who served our nation. During your time at the VA, you will learn the nuances and special considerations of treating this important population. You will work with patients with a variety of conditions, including substance use disorders, TBI and spinal cord injuries. At Tampa General, a 1040 bed academic tertiary care center, you will work with diverse patients with a wide array of medical complexities, including general med/surg, cardiac, GI, burns, neurologic, peri and post-partum, transplant, oncology, critical care, trauma and palliative care.

Fellows will complete assigned readings and attend didactics three times weekly. There will also be Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences Grand Rounds. Additionally, fellows may opt to attend educational conferences held by other fields of interest. Journal Clubs will occur quarterly. Fellows will have weekly one-on-one supervision for complex cases for 1 hour weekly as well as clinical teaching rounds daily.
