How to apply to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship

Ready to advance your training and make a lasting impact on children and families? We are recruiting for two fellowship positions for the 2027–2028 training year through the NRMP Main Fellowship Match utilizing the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).  Applications will be accepted July 1 – September 15, 2026. If you’re passionate about comprehensive, collaborative, and compassionate care, this is your opportunity to join a program committed to excellence in clinical care, research, and education across Kentucky. 

Training in child and adolescent psychiatry can occur either after completion of the final (PGY-4) year of an ACGME-accredited general psychiatry residency program or combined program including general psychiatry, or as a “fast track” following the PGY-3 year of a general psychiatry residency program. Canadian equivalents are accepted.
