Our fellows join the consultation liaison services at Rhode Island Hospital (RIH) and The Miriam Hospital (TMH), gaining experience at both a large level one trauma/burn center and an academic community hospital. Our program faculty have expertise in diverse areas including Psycho-Oncology, Transplant Psychiatry, HIV, Neurocognitive Disorders, Women’s Mental Health, Functional Neurologic Disorders (PNES), Neuropsychiatry, Neuromodulation, Sleep, Addiction, and Integrated Care.
Fellows participate in daily multidisciplinary team rounds that include The Warren Alpert Medical School students, experienced nurse practitioners, substance use disorder trained social workers, and residents in General Psychiatry, Neurology, Internal Medicine and our Triple Board Program. Fellows receive individualized teaching in both formal didactic and bedside settings with our core faculty. They will participate in a quality improvement project, consultation liaison grand rounds, M&M meetings for general psychiatry, and have the opportunity to teach in both formal and informal settings.
Rhode Island Hospital (RIH) and The Miriam Hospital (TMH) are the primary medical-surgical, clinical, and training sites of the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship at The Warren Alpert Medical School.
Fellows spend the majority of their time on the Rhode Island Hospital Inpatient Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Service with additional rotations at The Miriam Hospital scheduled across the year.

Notes:
The Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Service at Rhode Island Hospital constitutes the core fellow training experience during the fellowship year, and is where fellows spend the majority of their time. At Rhode Island Hospital, a level-one trauma and burn center, fellows learn to perform psychiatric consultation to medical-surgical patients and services including: internal medicine, hematology/oncology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, trauma/burns, neurology, neurosurgery, complex orthopedics, and various medical and surgical intensive care units.
See handbook for a list of program skills and competencies.
Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at The Miriam Hospital, an academic community hospital, constitutes an important fellow training experience. There, the fellow spends four months over the academic year performing psychiatric consultation to medical-surgical patients with a focus on ICU, Emergency Psychiatry, and Geriatric Psychiatry settings. The Miriam Hospital consult service offers a robust caseload of patients with comorbid HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hematologic/Oncologic illness. As the site of our Geriatric Psychiatry Clinical and Fellowship programs, this rotation offers a unique focus on geriatric neuropsychiatry.
See handbook for a list of program skills and competencies.
Psycho-Oncology at the Brown University Health Cancer Center offers a year-long longitudinal outpatient experience for the fellow. At the Cancer Center, fellows gain experience in the evaluation and management of psychiatric and neuropsychiatric illness associated with, and specific to, multiple types of cancer and their treatments.
Fellows learn to utilize psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacologic therapies for patients as they adjust to cancer diagnoses and contend with the neuropsychiatric issues associated with complex surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The rotation is well integrated with robust social work, spiritual, and palliative care services.
See handbook for a list of program skills and competencies.
The HIV Psychiatry ambulatory rotation offers a 3-month longitudinal experience in neuropsychiatric management of patients with HIV. The HIV Psychiatry clinic is co-located at the Lifespan Immunology Center and is staffed by several social workers, an LICSW, and both psychiatric and addiction services. In this setting fellows explore the neuropsychiatric and medical complications of HIV infection and treat commonly occurring psychiatric illnesses associated with HIV. This is a unique integrated care setting that makes a difference in a historically underserved clinical population.
The Transplant Psychiatry ambulatory rotation offers a 3-month longitudinal outpatient experience for the Fellow. During this rotation, the Fellow will gain experience conducting both donor and recipient evaluations and participating in multidisciplinary transplant team meetings to discuss our complex cases. This is an opportunity to learn about pre- and post- transplant psychiatric diagnostic issues, psychosocial screening/instruments, pharmacologic considerations in end organ illnesses, drug-drug interactions unique to this clinical population, and neuropsychiatric side effects of immunosuppressive agents.
