Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center. This program prepares fellows to provide excellent, equitable, evidence-based clinical care to patients across the lifespan with substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions. Upon completion of this fully accredited 12-month program, fellows will be eligible to sit for the subspecialty board exam in addiction psychiatry.
