Fellows will also have exposure to consultation/liaison in a women’s hospital, as well as experience in providing outpatient consultation to women’s health clinics. They will have experience treating pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders, and spend time in a partial hospital program focusing on dialectical behavioral treatment. Fellows will have the unique opportunity to spend time in a mother-baby psychiatric partial hospital program, the first of its kind in the U.S., where they will provide in-depth care to women with peripartum mood and anxiety disorders.

Fellows will have the option to conduct more focused study in any of the core areas of training, as well as add elective opportunities to supplement their training. Fellows will also have protected time to facilitate pursuit of a scholarly project in women's mental health under the supervision of a research mentor.
