The Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin is a one-year, ACGME-accredited program preparing psychiatrists to lead at the intersection of mental health and the justice system. Launching its first class in 2025, the fellowship draws on the strengths of Austin’s academic and health-focused institutions — including Austin State Hospital, Integral Care, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office and Ascension Seton — to provide robust, interdisciplinary training. Fellows gain experience providing expert psychiatric consultation in legal contexts and delivering care within correctional and community-based settings. Through collaborative learning across Texas medical schools, the program equips graduates to address critical system gaps and drive forward equitable, person-centered solutions in forensic psychiatry.
The Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship is affiliated with Dell Med’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
