Early Course Psychosis Fellowship

Training in Early Course Psychosis


The Early Course Psychosis Fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) is a coordinated specialty care program located within the Advancing Services for Psychosis Integration and Recovery (ASPIRE) clinic. This fellowship will provide training in comprehensive evaluations and outpatient treatment for individuals experiencing early symptoms of psychosis and those at clinical high-risk for developing psychosis. The fellow will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, social workers, other trainees, educators, and researchers. BIDMC and HMS also offer opportunities to participate in clinical and translational research geared toward understanding and developing innovative treatments for early course psychosis and clinical high-risk populations. The goal of this fellowship is to train psychiatrists in coordinated specialty care (CSC) based on the NAVIGATE model, so that trainees can be well equipped to join a community mental center or establish a program of their own.
