Our ACGME-accredited, two-year program aims to graduate confident, competent, well-rounded community psychiatrists who will serve as model clinicians, educators, and patient advocates. Our graduates, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, are excellent clinicians, technically skilled in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy who can demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviors necessary to enter autonomous practice.
Rotations take place at BayCare inpatient and outpatients in Lutz, New Port Richey and Tampa, Florida.
BayCare has many career opportunities available, and we hope our fellows will practice in the Tampa Bay area after completing their fellowship.
Our program is based out of Morton Plant North Bay Hospital Recovery Center in Lutz, Florida. The facility provides psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults. Our pediatric unit cares for children age 4 and older, providing 24-hour nursing care, daily group therapy, and medication management for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders. Our experienced team is comprised of psychiatrists, social workers, registered nurses, case managers and mental health technicians.
