Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship Program Overview ##"

The OHSU Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship provides robust educational experiences in criminal and civil forensic psychiatry as well as correctional psychiatry. The program features rotations at various institutions, including the Oregon State Hospital, the Washington County Jail, and the Multnomah County Detention Center. Fellows perform forensic evaluations, provide correctional mental health care, and consult with mental health courts. Diversity, equity, and inclusion topics are an integral part of the fellowship experience, as is the development of a deeper understanding of the relationship between government policy and social influences on people in the public psychiatry system, including those within the criminal justice system and the civil commitment system."
