Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship Program

The Addiction Sciences Division of UC offers one opening annually for our Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship training program. We work closely with our Addiction Medicine Fellowship program which also offers one annual position allowing for rich multidisciplinary collaboration. 

Our fellowship is ACGME-accredited and prepares the candidate for added qualifications in Addiction Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

The fellowship experience is divided between rotations in a nationally recognized VA, UC Health Addiction Sciences, and with various community partners. Rotations offer full spectrum training at all levels of care including inpatient addiction consults, medically supervised withdrawal, residential treatment, opioid treatment program (OTP), dual diagnosis clinic, and outpatient clinics and offer opportunities for working with specialized populations. Formal addiction-specific psychotherapy training is provided including CBT, motivational interviewing, contingency management, and return to use prevention.

The fellowship faculty is comprised of addiction specialists from multiple disciplines, dedicated to quality patient care, teaching, and scholarly activity.

Research opportunities exist with multiple faculty members, through the renowned UC Health Addiction Center. Active research protocols include both behavioral and pharmacotherapy research trials as well as quality improvement projects with highly regarded research faculty.

Competitive salary and benefits are available, including the opportunity to earn extra income. Robust post-fellowship employment opportunities exist within the Greater Cincinnati area.

The Tri-state area offers a diverse culture; superb shopping, dining, and entertainment; affordable housing; several spectator sports along with numerous opportunities for the weekend athlete; an NIH top 3 children's hospital; and one of the best selections of public schools in the nation - all within hours of the Great Lakes and Appalachian Mountains for weekend getaways.
