Training Director: James Levenson, M.D.
The Virginia Commonwealth University Health System training program in Psychosomatic Medicine has been in existence for 27 years and is one of the first fellowship programs accredited by the ACGME and approved by the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine. For over 20 years this program has been under the directorship of James L. Levenson, M.D., an internationally acclaimed leader in the field of Psychosomatic Medicine.
Dr. Levenson is the editor of the American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine, (2005). Dr. Levenson has also
been recognized with VCU's highest teaching award and last year received its Distinguished Clinician Award. Other members of the
Consultation/Liaison Division have also been recognized with awards for teaching and supervvision and have made many contributions
to the literature, particularly at the interfaces with Organ Transplantation and Neurology.
This exciting one-year fellowship offers advanced training in Consultation/Liaison Psychiatry in a 700-bed university hospital to psychiatrists who have completed residency. Fellows choose from numerous clinical and research opportunities in transplantation, primary care, traumatic brain injury, pain management, oncology, infertility, HIV and more. Individual weekly supervision is provided for research, psychotherapy, liaison activity and teaching. Fellows have the opportunity to both choose liaison involvements and to teach medical students and psychiatry residents.
Our fellowship also offers a position at our sister training facility, the Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a 500 bed flagship facility which offers diverse opportunities in both consultation and liaison experiences, namely liaison to a novel Poly-Trauma Unit as well as Spinal Cord Injury settings. The site director for the fellowship is Joel A. Blum, M.D., who serves as the Chief of the Consultation/Liaison Service.
