Application Procedure
Fourth-year general psychiatry residents apply for fellowships in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry through the Electronic Residency Application Service. Our program participates in the National Resident Matching Program Specialties Matching Service.
The application deadline is November 1.
Interview Process
After application review, the program coordinator will reach out to offer interviews to selected candidates. Interview season is from mid-August until the end of November. Interviews are typically held on Fridays.
International Medical Graduates/Foreign Medical Graduates: Please note the list of “Schools Whose Graduates Have Demonstrated Substantial Equivalence of Their Education” on the Texas Medical Board website (located on the ”Full Texas Medical License” page, under the “Before You Apply” sidebar; click the “Substantial Equivalence List” PDF). If your medical school is not listed, you will not be invited for an interview and may find it difficult to obtain a training permit in Texas. The list is subject to change at any time.
