Connecting fellows with excellent training to reach their potential
Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship
The Indiana University School of Medicine Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (formerly Psychosomatic Medicine) Fellowship is an ACGME-accredited one-year program that accepts up to two fellows per year.

This program nurtures a fellow’s clinical, research, teaching and administrative skills, according to the fellow's individual goals.
