Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology Fellowships

The University of Washington (UW) and the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), jointly sponsor year long fellowships in forensic psychiatry and psychology. The fellowships are run in parallel as part of a consortium. Psychiatry resident applicants must be PGY5 and above and psychology applicants must have completed their doctoral degree from an APA-accredited institution. Our program has a large and diverse faculty with advanced training in forensic mental health. The fellowship is designed to promote a wide variety of experiences in mental health law, criminal and civil forensic practice, consultation, treatment of the mentally ill offender, and research. Fellows will select a primary training track and have the opportunity for minor rotations in the other programs.
