PSYCHIATRY FELLOWSHIP IN FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY AT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
In conjunction with Ohio’s only maximum security forensic hospital at Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare and the world renowned Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State University’s fellowship offers specialized training in the intersection of psychiatry and the law. As forensic psychiatric patients make up an ever expanding percent of the individuals in psychiatric care the need for forensic psychiatrists has never been greater.
Fellows will have the unique opportunity to be involved in many different aspects of forensic patients’ assessment and evaluation. Fellows will aid in evaluation of defendants’ competency and sanity at the time of the act both in jail and hospital settings. Treatment opportunities will be available in the maximum security forensic unit as well as on an outpatient basis for mentally ill offenders who have worked their way through the hospital system. Juvenile evaluations will consist of both bind-over to adult court and recommendations to the court for treatment. Civil cases will include a mix of fitness for duty, disability, malpractice, and consults to other physicians on challenging patients. Additionally, there are opportunities for interested fellows to become involved in advocacy and policy matters at the state level through the Ohio Department of Mental Health also located in Columbus.
The Ohio State University’s Medical School ranks among the nation’s top 40 and the Wexner Medical Center at the Ohio State University has been ranked as one of “America’s Best Hospitals” in U.S. News & World Report for 20 years. OSU is located in the fifteenth largest city in the U.S., Columbus, Ohio. Columbus is consistently honored as one of the most livable cities in the nation and is a top 10 high-tech and top-25 bio-tech city. Columbus boasts a variety of professional and collegiate sports, urban and suburban entertainment districts with museums, theaters, nightclubs, shops, and restaurants and nationally ranked science center and zoo.
