Interprofessional Fellowship Program in Psychosocial Recovery and Recovery Oriented Services for Veterans experiencing serious mental health disorders. The Fellowship Program is a state-of-the-art, advanced clinical training program that focuses on the theory and practice of psychosocial rehabilitation. Individualized, mentored clinical training is combined with a curriculum that emphasizes a comprehensive psychosocial rehabilitation approach to service delivery, education, and implementing change in mental health care settings.  The purpose of the Interprofessional Fellowship Program is to develop future mental health leaders to transform mental health care systems by emphasizing functional capability, rehabilitation, and recovery.  Professions accepted include psychology, social work, occupational therapy, psychiatry, chaplaincy, vocational rehabilitation, and nursing.

The VA Interprofessional Advanced Fellowship in Addiction Treatment is a two-year, multi-site fellowship that provides interprofessional research, clinical, and educational training to prepare physician, post-doctoral, and post-masters level fellows as leaders in the field of addiction treatment. Our fellows and alumni represent a variety of disciplines including medicine, psychology, nursing, chaplaincy, pharmacy and social work. They share a commitment to reducing the burden of alcohol and drug use disorders in Veteran populations. Unique training opportunities at local sites are linked through a common national curriculum and opportunities for cross-site collaboration.
