Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Our program is interdisciplinary, multicultural, and developmental in orientation. We offer three “tracks”: psychotherapy, rural /telemedicine, and research. New Mexico is a culturally diverse state and our fellows work with patients from Hispanic, Native American, and numerous other backgrounds. Fellows participate in the
Rural and Community Behavioral Health program , working with telemedicine, and providing outreach services in rural areas throughout the state. Fellows are trained in various psychotherapy modalities and receive psychotherapy supervision from faculty and outside supervisors. The Department of Psychiatry is involved in multidisciplinary research, and local research resources include the
MIND Institute for neuroimaging.
Geriatric Psychiatry
This fellowship is designed to prepare general psychiatrists both to assess and manage psychiatric problems confronting elderly patients, as well as to expand expertise in consultation-liaison psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and eating disorders. Fellows receive core training in geriatric psychiatry in settings including acute hospitalization, consultation-liaison, rehabilitation, nursing home, and outpatient. There are opportunities to focus on palliative care, sleep medicine, traumatic brain injury, neuroimaging, research, or other individual goals.
New Mexico’s over-65 population will soon exceed the national average. Its ethnic diversity, which includes 19 Native American pueblos, two Apache nations and the Navajo Nation, each with a rich tribal history and culture, provides unique opportunities in Native American and rural subspecialty healthcare.

Addiction Psychiatry
Our fellowship provides a broad and diverse training in the rich multicultural setting of New Mexico. It is our goal to improve the emotional and physical health of all New Mexicans by focusing on the devastating effects of addictive disorders.
Our fellows receive extensive training in the screening, evaluation and treatment of the addictive disorders. We have a talented and skilled faculty, who are dedicated to education, research and clinical pursuits in the addictions. Fellows receive the bulk of their training at the following sites: University Psychiatric Center, Addiction and Substance Abuse Programs (ASAP), Albuquerque Veteran's Administration Hospital, Children's Psychiatric Hospital and the Truman Street Clinic. In addition the fellowship includes opportunities and training within the rural and multicultural populations of New Mexico and the opportunity to become involved with the Clinical Trials Network and sponsor-driven research. New Mexico has a large Hispanic and Native American population with unique treatment needs. All this adds to great richness and diversity of the training experience.
