Training Director: James Levenson, M.D.
The geropsychiatric program at the Medical College of Virginia extends to the 500-bed Hunter Holmes McGuire Veteran Affairs Medical Center and Piedmont Geriatric Hospital, a state- supported 210-bed institution caring exclusively for patients over 65 years of age with psychiatric illnesses. Rotations for the one year fellowship extend to these three hospitals. 6 months are spent rotating at Piedmont Geriatric Hospital and the remaining 6 months at VCUHS and the Hunter Holmes McGuire Veteran Affairs Medical Center. The program has a modest research focus.
The Fellowship offers broad-based clinical training in inpatient/outpatient geriatric psychiatry focusing on both acute and chronic disease. Specific rotations include dementia clinic, nursing homes, geropsychiatric state hospital, university hospital/clinic geropsychiatry, palliative care, pain management and neuroimaging.
We offer 2 positions each academic year. These positions are open to all candidates who have successfully completed a 4-year psychiatry residency at an accredited program who have passed USMLE Step 3 and are elibible for licensure in Virginia.
To be considered for these positions, please forward your CV, proof of USMLE completion and 4 letters of recommendation (one should be from your residency program director).
