ACGME Approved Residencies and Fellowships

The Department of Psychiatry and Health Behavior is proud to offer three fully accredited ACGME-approved training programs.

General Psychiatry -

This 4 year categorical program comprises 28 house officers, and will be selecting 7 new PGY-1 residents in the upcoming year. Dr. Richard Camino serves as the training director for this program, and Dr. David Williams is the assistant director. A rich diversity of training sites including a newly added state-of the–art addictions treatment facility and a faculty numbering approximately 50 in size makes this a rich and diverse experience.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry -

This fellowship is directed by Dr. Sandra Sexson, an internationally respected educator and leader in her field. Recently expanded to a total of 6 fellowship slots, MCG at Augusta University has approximately 8 child psychiatrists on faculty in the Section, all of whom are dedicated to our missions of clinical care, education, and research.

Forensic Psychiatry –

Our first forensic psychiatry fellow completed training this past June. With opportunities at the local State hospital, the state prison system, and other venues throughout the state, this is a small but dedicated program that provides an exceptionally high quality educational experience.

addiction medicine -

The Addiction Medicine Fellowship is a 1-year fellowship offering robust clinical and research training in the evaluation and treatment of addictive diseases. Our program provides integrated, community-based training across the treatment continuum from withdrawal management, residential, intensive outpatient and outpatient settings. Treatment modalities include medication assisted treatment, motivational interviewing and 12-step recovery. Fellows work as a part of a clinical team including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and other mental health professionals.
