The Tulane Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences offers a one-year ACGME-accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship, providing comprehensive training in the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of addiction and substance use disorders. The program equips fellows to address nicotine, alcohol, prescription, and illicit drug addiction, as well as behavioral addictions such as gambling and compulsive overeating.
Fellows gain diverse clinical experience at regional facilities, including the VA, East Jefferson General Hospital, and Longbranch Healthcare, while receiving supervision, evidence-based didactics, and leadership training. Graduates are prepared for clinical, academic, and leadership roles in Addiction Medicine and for certification by the American Board of Preventive Medicine.
