Candidates can use the fellowship map, below, to help guide their search for the right program. Clicking on a program icon will bring up some key information, including whether the fellowship has an opening(s) for the 2024-2025 appointment year. The map includes training programs that are participating in the NRMP Match. You can open the map to a larger window by clicking the box-frame icon at upper right. This allows you to quickly identify the programs with openings, and it can also show programs by their departmental affiliation. Because addiction medicine is a multispecialty subspecialty, fellowships are affiliated with various departments/residencies. While most are affiliated with family medicine, internal medicine or psychiatry, some are affiliated with emergency medicine or pediatrics. The degree of the affiliation varies – some program directors are from a different specialty than the host department (PD specialty is shown when you click on a fellowship). Some programs may have specific eligibility criteria or preferences, but overall, the distinguishing feature of addiction medicine fellowships is that they are open to physicians of all specialties. Of note – although a number of fellowships are based in psychiatry departments, most of their fellows have been non-psychiatrists.
