Potential Applicants:

We are excited that you are interested in the Addiction Medicine Fellowship at the UK Department of Psychiatry! Our goal in the Addiction Medicine Fellowship is to train excellent clinicians who will be equipped to deliver high-quality care to a population in great need. We hope to instill a holistic understanding of addiction and its treatment through a broad range of clinical experiences and educational activities. In addition, the fellows have the unique opportunity to receive supervision from faculty who have held national leadership roles in addiction medicine, work with experienced therapists to improve motivational interviewing skills, and expand their knowledge in the dual diagnosis of mental health and substance use disorders.  Our fellows have a longitudinal experience in their continuity clinic at the UK SMART clinic. (Supportive Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Treatment) The SMART clinic is a comprehensive substance use disorders clinic providing addiction treatment, behavioral health, and primary care in one clinic. The fellow is actively involved in managing all stages of recovery working with a multidisciplinary team.  We endeavor to provide experiences that will prepare fellows to provide evidence-based treatment to work with patients with substance use disorders in any setting. If you have further questions about our program please contact our program coordinator Tiffany Duncan at tiffany.duncan@uky.edu

Sincerely,

Danielle Anderson, MD
