The Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (Psychosomatic Medicine) Fellowship, a component of the residency program within the Department of Psychiatry, focuses on the study and practice of psychiatric disorders in patients with medical, surgical, obstetrical and neurological conditions, particularly patients with complex and/or chronic conditions.
The Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship is affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry.
Fellows train in two major inpatient settings and through four major outpatient components including Integrated Practice Units, the Shivers Cancer Center, the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic and the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes Clinic.
Dell Seton is the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Central Texas and the fourth-busiest emergency department in the state. Fellows spend six months at Dell Seton performing inpatient psychiatric consultations and working directly with other graduate medical staff members. Rotations here emphasize team management, trauma and neurology.
Ascension Seton Medical Center is Austin’s largest medical/surgical acute care center and the only hospital performing heart transplants in Central Texas. In addition to comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for a wide variety of patients, rotations here emphasize telemedicine, transplant, bariatric and perinatal care.
Located on the Dell Med campus in the new Health Transformation Building, the Ascension Seton Infusion Center offers fellows the chance to provide psychiatric integrated care services alongside a psychiatrist specializing in psycho-oncology.
We strive for a well-rounded class of two fellows with individual strengths in different areas.
Our curriculum is focused on classroom learning and clinical experience in the treatment of complex, medically ill patients.
It’s an exciting time to be a part of medical education and research in Austin. Dell Med residents and fellows are talented physicians working to become leaders in their fields.
