LSU-Ochsner Psychosomatic Medicine Fellowship in New Orleans

The Psychosomatic Medicine fellowship at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans began in 2009, and is fully accredited by the ACGME. It builds upon a well established psychiatry consultation service with its roots back into the historic Charity Hospital, prior to Hurricane Katrina.  LSU has partnered with Ochsner Medical Center to create a fellowship experience that is second to none. 

The LSU Interim Hospital is an ideal location to train in Psychosomatic Medicine, with a collegial atmosphere and fascinating consultations. The Psychosomatic Medicine Clinic is a subspecialty clinic for the LSU Interim Hospital.  There is also the opportunity to work in a variety settings in which the fellow is embedded into another clinic, such as the gastroenterology clinic, the pain medicine clinic, or the weight management/bariatric surgery clinic. 

At the Ochsner Medical Center, the fellow is exposed to a different model of care, caring for patients primarily with private insurance.  There are multiple liaison opportunities with transplantation teams at Ochsner, and the fellow is able to learn how to make a consultation practice work in private practice.  

Research and teaching opportunities abound. The Psychosomatic Medicine faculty members provide daily supervision and mentor fellows in career formation.
