The Department of Psychiatry at Brigham and Women’s Hospital provides a unique and robust setting for women’s 
mental health training with rich and varied clinical exposure across a variety of settings including subspecialty 
ambulatory, consultation liaison, and co-located clinics in obstetrics, primary care and NICU settings as well as exposure 
to multiples areas of subspecialty within women’s mental health including reproductive psychiatry, mental health at 
midlife and beyond, perinatal addiction psychiatry, women’s mental health at the intersection of forensics/ethics as well as 
elective rotations through the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Women's Psychosocial Oncology Services and Mclean 
Hospital, where the fellow will be exposed to diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders, eating disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorder across varied settings.

The program provides exciting subspecialty training opportunities for potential applicants interested in the ways sex and gender can exert a major influence on the course, expression and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Fellows will develop expertise in the psychiatric care of women, and in the assessment and treatment of psychiatric symptoms linked with 
female reproductive cycle transitions. The fellowship emphasizes clinical experience, but also includes a scholarly project, the nature and scope of which depends on the fellow's interests. For those who are interested, there may be opportunities to expand the academic project to include a larger amount of protected research time throughout the course of the fellowship.
