Fellowship Title: |
Biological Psychiatry and Neuroscience |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The UCSD Fellowship in Biological Psychiatry and Neuroscience is a research training program for psychiatrists, psychologists, and basic neuroscientists working in areas relevant to psychiatry. Typically Fellows spend two years in the program, during which they develop a research project under the close supervision of one of the faculty of the UCSD Department of Psychiatry, or another investigator in the La Jolla (UCSD/Salk/Scripps) research community. Descriptions of the research interests of the Department faculty can be found at the URL below. A major goal of the program is the successful completion of a research project resulting in publication in a peer-reviewed journal. In addition to this project, Fellows participate in a wide range of educational experiences related to their field of interest and career development. These training opportunities range from academic areas such as research ethics and statistical methods to practical subjects such as grant writing, giving research presentations, and the peer review of manuscripts. Most graduates of the program have successfully continued in further research training, accepted positions as junior faculty, as emerged outstanding psychiatric researchers. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent (green card) residents. Women and minorities traditionally under-represented in academic medicine are especially encouraged to apply. |

Training in Molecular Approaches to Mental Illness |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The goal of this program, which began on July 1, 1992, is to train investigators to use cellular and molecular techniques to solve psychiatric problems. The program will train three types of fellows: psychiatrists with M.D./Ph.D. degrees; psychiatrists with M.D. degrees; and non-psychiatrists with an interest in psychiatric research (with Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees). Fellows will be provided with a three-year, full time laboratory experience supervised by a member of the core faculty; a core seminar and journal club; and appropriate formal course work. Psychiatrist fellows will be expected to spend one-half day per week in specialized clinics within the department. |

Schizophrenia/Psychopharmacology Research Fellowship |
|
Fellowship Description: |
This fellowship is geared towards developing skills in the field of Schizohrenia research including psychopharmacology and neuroimaging. Current STAR research studies include: Psycho-pharmacological augmentation trials: These trials focus on the GABAergic glutamatergic and noradrenergic systems and their relation to negative symptoms and cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia. These augmentation studies test the possibility of improving negative symptoms and cognitive abilities in patients with schizophrenia by adding specific augmenting agents to preexisting antypsychotic treatment.
Psycho-pharmacological treatment studies: With novel antipsychotic agents, these studies test the ability of new medications to ameliorate psychotic symptoms both positive and negative symptoms as well as cognitive dysfunction in patients with Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective disorder.
Neuroimaging studies : These studies employ MRI, functional MRI, MR-spectroscopy, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to explore novel treatment strategies and gain a better understanding of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. |

Biological Psychiatry Research Fellowship |
|
Fellowship Description: |
This fellowship provides the fellow with the basic tools necessary for performing research in biological psychiatry with an emphasis on bipolar disorders. Tools include: 1) research designs in psychiatry; 2) project management; 3) database design and management; 4) statistical analysis; 5) critical review of the literature; 6) grant proposal writing; 7) paper writing and presentations; and 8) psychiatric rating scales. Fellows are expected to write an abstract or a poster presentation, and are encouraged to develop a research project, which could be carried out under supervision during the second year. Training is provided through seminars, independent mentored studies, and journal clubs, but the main training tool is the active participation in several on-going research projects, including clinical trials, multicenter studies, imaging studies or neurogenetics studies. Special attention is placed on the proper use of psychiatric research scales, and training is done by rating videotaped interviews under the direct supervision of trained investigators until certification is achieved. |
