Program description
The Fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry is a full-time 12-month program that encompasses didactic and supervised clinical experiences on a Jackson Memorial Hospital county jail diversion and competency restoration psychiatry unit, in VA health law and justice outreach activities, and at the University of Miami School of Law Clinics. Opportunities abound for fellow participation in teaching psychiatry residents and medical students, and for conducting collaborative research. Resources for the fellowship program include Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami VA Medical Center, Miami-Dade County 11th Judicial Circuit Court, and forensic psychiatrists and attorneys affiliated with the University of Miami Department of Psychiatry and School of Law who will engage the fellow in apprenticeship and tutorial activities.

Requests for applications to the Fellowship Program in Forensic Psychiatry are accepted starting in July and should sent by email to Andrea Santo, Program Coordinator with an attached curriculum vitae (asanto@miami.edu). Additional information and personal interviews may be requested.
