Fellowship Training Opportunities

Public and Community Psychiatry Fellowships provide training in psychiatric leadership, recovery oriented services, advocacy, and program evaluation/services research.

An expanding list of programs has been created, mostly in the past decade. Providing a combination of didactic and field experiences, these 1-2 year post-residency fellowships represent the gold standard for preparing psychiatrists for leadership roles in organizational settings, whose funding largely derives from public sources. Since, as revealed in a recently published survey of APA members, early and mid-career psychiatrists now spend more time in such publicly-funded organizational settings than in private practice, the value of training dedicated to working in these settings is becoming increasingly clear to psychiatric residents as they become early-career psychiatrists.

While most fellows enter these programs immediately following residency, they are equally suitable for early and mid-career psychiatrists.

Recovery to Practice is an initiative that promotes the understanding and use of recovery-oriented services in psychiatry.

Collaboratively developed by the American Psychiatric Association (APA)  and the AACP, this 10 module curriculum provides a basic understanding of recovery from mental illness and substance use disorders and recovery-oriented care, and to contribute to bringing recovery-oriented practice into the mainstream of professional practice.
