Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship | Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine

老澳门六合彩图库 Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship

老澳门六合彩图库 offers a one-year, ACGME-accredited addiction psychiatry fellowship in Milwaukee, WI.

Our mission is to gradate compassionate, collaborative addiction psychiatric physicians, growing in scholarship as colleagues, and serving our community through excellent patient care, teaching, and advocacy. Addiction Psychiatrists are often called upon to be resources in their medical communities to assist physicians and other health professionals who have potentially impairing psychiatric or addiction health conditions needing treatment.

Addiction psychiatrists work in a field that is extremely rewarding even if often challenging. They work not only in direct patient care but in education of health professionals, research, and public policy advocacy. Involvement in the needs of communities regarding addiction issues impacting the community is an important part of being a subspecialist in this field.
