Adolescent Medicine Fellowship
Program Director
Program overview
This fellowship, which began in the mid-1970s, is distinguished by its strong training in a broad variety of clinical settings, both in the hospital and in the community, with a special emphasis on underserved populations and behavioral health. Clinical exposure and rotations include inpatient consultation, eating disorders clinic, consultative adolescent clinic, substance abuse clinic, behavioral health, juvenile justice, homeless youth, sports medicine and gynecology.
The major research focus is public health and behavioral and epidemiologic research in adolescents, with an emphasis on STD/HIV research. Because our research training strongly emphasizes public health, fellows have the opportunity to obtain a Master of Public Health Degree in health services or epidemiology from the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine. The first year involves clinical training, with years two and three focused on research and the MPH degree.
