Forensic Psychiatry fellowship Program
Welcome From the Director - J. Richard Ciccone, M.D.
The Charles E. Steinberg Fellowship in Psychiatry and the Law began in 1986 and was one of the original eight forensic psychiatry fellowships in the country accredited by the Accreditation Council of Forensic Psychiatry Fellowships. It was one of the initial eleven forensic psychiatry fellowships accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 1997. The fellowship (residency) program in forensic psychiatry is a one-year, post-residency training program for psychiatrists planning careers in forensic psychiatry, and leads to Added Qualifications in Forensic Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. This fellowship is open all who have completed an ACGME accredited general psychiatry residency program.
