FELLOWSHIPS—Forensic Psychiatry

Phillip Resnick, MD
Director, Forensic Fellowship Program
Department of Psychiatry

The Forensic fellowship is designed to train psychiatrists in law and psychiatry who will devote their careers to practice, teaching, and research in forensic psychiatry. Although the program presents a firm theoretical background, its major strength lies in teaching the pragmatic skills of performing evaluations, detecting malingering, writing forensic reports, and giving effective court testimony.

Fellows take courses at CWRU Law School and participate in a seminar on Landmark Mental Health Law Cases. Clinical experience in a criminal court psychiatric clinic, juvenile court psychiatric clinic, mentally disordered offenders program, and inpatient forensic unit are individually tailored to the interests of each fellow.
