PGY-4 (and above) Residency and Fellowship Training Programs
|
|
Fellowship Description:
|
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Division of Intramural Research (DIRP) offers an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) approved residency program for the fourth year of post graduate psychiatric training (PGY4). This program offers research training in the area of biological psychiatry and is conceptualized as an elective fourth year of residency. Successful candidates have completed all required general psychiatry residency rotations and satisfied all core competencies. Residents who transfer to the NIMH usually continue as a clinical fellow for two additional years of research training. The NIMH DIRP also offers a post-residency Clinical Research Fellowship Program (or Print Friendly PDF).
Overview
The NIMH DIRP offers extensive training opportunities in clinical and translational research in psychiatry and neuroscience. The core training program is mentorship-driven and focuses on the acquisition and refinement of research skills including the evaluation and clinical care of research subjects, development of research protocols, performance of clinical and/or laboratory research, and preparation and presentation of study results. Clinical Research Fellows join specialty research groups that study the mechanisms or treatments of major psychiatric illnesses. Emphasis in these programs is on psychopharmacology, behavioral endocrinology, psychosomatic medicine, child psychiatry, brain imaging, molecular biology, and neurogenetics. Successful candidates have a strong background in research and a commitment to an academic career path.
Clinical and research training are integrated during the three-year clinical fellowship program. Fellows assume responsibility for the evaluation and clinical care of inpatient and/or outpatient research subjects in addition to providing on-call psychiatric consultations to NIH Clinical Center patients. Research design, methodology, statistical analysis, and data presentation skills are developed through interaction with mentors, didactic sessions, and practical experiences. Trainees are exposed to specialized coursework including the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research, Neurobiology of Mental Health, Grant-Writing and Clinical Research Bioethics. For trainees with primarily laboratory interests, basic research training opportunities are also available.

The intent of this two-year fellowship is to provide rigorous training in the knowledge and skills necessary to become an independent investigator conducting translational neuroscience studies of mental health. The program is designed for post-residency psychiatrists, postdoctoral psychologists, and postdoctoral neuroscientists. The bulk of the fellow's time is spent working in the mentor's laboratory in collaborative and individually designed projects. This experience is augmented by attending seminars in translational neuroscience design and models.
