Tulane University School of Medicine - Addiction Medicine Fellowship Program

Tulane Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences offers a one-year ACGME accredited and ABMS sponsored fellowship program in Addiction Medicine. The program provides well-rounded educational and clinical training in the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of individuals with the disease of addiction, substance use related health conditions, and those who are exhibiting an unhealthy use of substances. Training will impart skills to recognize and treat pathological use of nicotine, alcohol, prescription medications and other legal drugs, and addictive use of illicit drugs. Training will include skills to recognize and provide treatment for other manifestations of addiction such as gambling disorder, compulsive overeating, and sexual addiction.

The goal of the program is to train the next generation of leaders to advance evidence-based clinical care and academic understanding of addiction by striving for continuous enrichment of the training experience. The program will prepare trainees for clinical and academic leadership in Addiction Medicine, for the certification examination offered by the American Board of Preventative Medicine.

The fellowship program is designed to provide a 12-month intensive academic and clinical experience for applicants who are board certified or board eligible in Anesthesiology, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Preventive Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, or Psychiatry.
