About the Program
Supporting the achievements of our fellows
The goals of the Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship Program are as follows:
- Cultivate physicians that understand bias and stigma associated with a diagnosis of substance use and how to combat these in medical settings.
- Train fellows to understand the concept of recovery model in patients with substance use disorder, including the principles dignity, self-determination, and strive to reach their full potential.
- Expose fellows to a diverse patient population through a large integrated health care network.
- Train in an environment committed to promoting a healthy work-life balance and life-long learning.
Developing the essential skills
The Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship Program aims to provide fellows with a clear understanding of the social, economic, genetic, pathophysiology and psychiatric factors that lead to a substance use disorder. Fellows will participate in diverse clinical settings to develop a thorough understanding and experience of all treatment modalities, pharmacological and non-pharmacological, available to a patient with a substance use disorder.
Together, St. Luke’s and Penn Foundation are committed to ensuring that the community has access to high quality mental healthcare. Our staff of compassionate professionals serves children, adolescents, and adults through 35 programs and more than 20 offices.
