Residency and Fellowship Programs

The faculty in the Division of Psychology at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine offer an academic program unparalleled with regard to our dedication to each intern's professional growth and personal development. The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has an established reputation for delivering the highest quality clinical care and training for psychology interns and fellows, as well as psychiatry residents and fellows. Our vibrant academic medical center is one of the busiest in the country.

Many applicants know Montefiore from the news reports on the successful neurosurgery conducted on the conjoined Aguirre twins, but we are proud of so much of what Montefiore offers, including a beautiful new Children's Hospital and a large widespread primary care network throughout the tri-state area. Of particular importance to intern applicants, our Department is consistently ranked by US News & World Report among the top hospital Departments of Psychiatry in the nation.

In our academic community, an enthusiastic and collegial faculty provides cutting-edge innovations in clinical practice, empirically-supported approaches, and psychopathological research without compromising time-tested wisdom and clinical lore. Intellectual freedom in a tolerant "family" atmosphere is the honored tradition at Einstein/Montefiore. Academic excellence, personal diversity, and individual attention to interns' professional and formational needs are the central tenets of our program.

Fellowships

Child/Adolescent Psychiatry

The Fellowship in Child/Adolescent Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center is a two-year training experience that offers a comprehensive clinical and didactic curriculum. Since its inception in 1956, this distinguished program has graduated a substantial percentage of child/adolescent psychiatrists practicing in the United States. These graduates include many past and current Directors of Training in Child/Adolescent Psychiatry and Directors of Divisions of Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, researchers in the forefront of clinical research in Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, Professors of Psychiatry nation-wide and Training and Supervising Analysts at prominent psychoanalytic institutes.

The Division of Child/Adolescent Psychiatry is dedicated to advancing the professional growth of each fellow. Our two-year program is structured to provide a balance of clinical training spanning the developmental lives of infants, children and adolescents and their surroundings.

Professional mentorship and exposure to senior faculty in supervisory sessions are key elements of the fellow's two-year training program. We draw from a wealth of full and part-time senior faculty who are leaders in the field of academic and clinical Child Psychiatry who maintain an unparalleled dedication to residency training.

Our Division's objectives are to foster the child/adolescent fellow's diagnostic skills, knowledge and competence in multiple treatment modalities, excitement about clinical research and a professional attitude towards patients and their families. As the field of Child/Adolescent Psychiatry increasingly interfaces with basic science in the areas of neuroscience, imaging, and psychiatric genomics, it is crucial to maintain these fundamental goals as we prepare our trainees for the future.

Psychosomatic Medicine Fellowship

Montefiore Medical Center has a long tradition of leadership in the field of Psychosomatic Medicine.  The ACGME accredited Fellowship in Psychosomatic Medicine is a one-year, full-time experience which offers a wide range of training opportunities both at the Moses Division, a 700-bed tertiary care facility and at the Jack D. Weiler Division, with 300 beds. 

The majority of fellows' time is spent with our busy consultation service as well as with PGY II residents, 1st and 3rd year students from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and residents in Neurology and Family Medicine who select this rotation.  Consultations are conducted within the Pain and Palliative Care Service, the Substance Abuse Consultation and Referral Service, and in general hospital settings.  Fellows may also choose to work with specialized services, such as Cardiac Transplant, AIDS, and the 24-hour EEG/TV monitoring Epilepsy Service. Plus a concentration in Child and Adolescent Psychosomatic Medicine is an option for those with completion of Child Psychiatry training. Fellows can also explore one of several outpatient programs, including the Pain Clinic and Primary Care in community health centers.

Geriatrics Fellowship

The ACGME accredited Fellowship Training Program in Geriatrics has prepared 52 fellows for Board certification in the subspecialty of Geriatric Psychiatry since 1989. Upon graduation our trainees are highly sought after for leadership positions in academia and public health institutions. They are also prepared to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving evidence base in late life mental illness and the expanding array of geriatric practice sites. Its close ties to Montefiore's Fellowship Program in the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Certified Home Health Care Agency, as well as the Division of Legal and Ethical Issues in Health Care program distinguishes this program from others in the New York metropolitan area.

The clinical experience occurs in the Psychiatric Outpatient Department, Montefiore a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community, and includes consultation to a teaching nursing home and house calls to patients in the community. Two thirds of the experience occurs in the out patient department, one sixth in nursing homes and one sixth in community based settings. Teaching, supervision, and direct involvement in NIH research with faculty (including the diagnosis and treatment of dementia and mild cognitive impairment) are also integral to the program's mission.

The Division's teaching and training goals are to: respond to the increasing number of needy older adults - including disadvantaged minority and immigrant elders, provide psychiatrists with special training in geriatrics for leadership positions, offer consultation and training to primary care physicians, general psychiatrists, and community agencies that provide mental health services to the elderly, gain a greater share of public and philanthropic support for training and research in mental health, and influence health policy through the conduct of clinical investigation and community service.
