Two fellowship positions are currently available annually in consultation-liaison psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital Center. Fellows participate in clinical and educational activities including supervision of residents and medical students. Fellows have an opportunity to consult on all units in the general hospital and specialized inpatient liaison relationships can be arranged according to the fellows' specific interests. Research opportunities are available and strongly encouraged.

In addition, each fellow is assigned to a primary care "module" and becomes the psychiatric liaison for the primary care physician covering that module. The fellow is responsible for evaluation of psychiatric referrals and formulation of a treatment plan together with the primary care physician. The fellow also has the opportunity to supervise residents and medical students rotating through the primary care module. Collaborative research projects are encouraged.

The division of consultation-liaison psychiatry has an AIDS C/L service that is staffed by both part-time and full-time faculty. Fellows gain ample experience in inpatient consultation-liaison psychiatry on the AIDS service and are currently doing C/L and outpatient rotations in the Bellevue virology clinic.
