ABOUT US:
We are a friendly, hard-working, tight-knit fellowship. Our program philosophy is to treat our fellows like the adult doctors that they are. This means giving them clinical and educational autonomy in a structured environment with plenty of oversight and supervision available at all times. We want applicants who enjoy learning and teaching, are curious about children, and who have a strong sense of morality in the care of vulnerable patients. Currently, our program doesn't require weekend or overnight call, but you are welcome to moonlight if you are maintaining basic academic performance (>25th percentile on PRITE).
If you are fast-tracking, please have a minimum of two adult patient CSV/CSEs completed, or all three CSV/CSEs completed if you are entering fellowship after PGY4 year. Without those CSVs completed during residency, you may be ineligible to sit for adult ABPN boards. To avoid heartache, we don't rank individuals still missing CSVs.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IN A FELLOW?
Curious, thoughtful psychiatrists who have become comfortable with integrating and managing the psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic treatment of adult patients, and want to learn the same for children and adolescents.
Psychiatrists who enjoy being allowed autonomy with plenty of safety-net supervision, who take ownership and are reliable in the care of their patients, and who want to learn.
Candidates must have completed either all 3x USMLE Step exams or all 3x COMLEX exams before interview season.
Candidates must have completed 2-3x adult CSVs before November and sent confirmation from their PD before the NRMP rank deadline (see above).
Candidates must have completed 3 years of an ACGME-accredited general psychiatry residency by the time they start fellowship - in such a way as they are eligible for ABPN boarding in psychiatry.
WHAT YOU DON'T NEED - BECAUSE WE WILL TEACH YOU!
Candidates do not need to have mastered child/teen interviews, history-taking, play therapy, family therapy... :) Get good with adults. We will help you get good with youth.
You do not have to be a "researcher". We are not looking for people with K awards and R01s (though you are very welcome to apply). We are looking for people who like to teach, or co-author case series, or present posters, etc.
INTERVIEW PROCESS:
In 2025, ERAS opens for you to apply on July 3rd. Programs will be able to see those applications on July 17th when ERAS makes them available to us.
We interview on the early side - this year we will interview in October 2025 (Oct 9th, 16th, 30th). Please make sure you apply soon after ERAS opens - we screen every application and will start offering interviews quickly.
In 2025 we plan to interview for two positions for a 2026 start date. We want to offer a small, high-quality program with plenty of individual attention.
Remember to register for AAMC's ERAS so you can interview, but also to register for NRMP Match so we can rank you.
We welcome applicants from all residency backgrounds, and from inside and outside the Midwest.
We welcome off-cycle candidates.
We do not currently support H1B visas.
We typically offer about 12 interview slots.
If you're curious about us, please reach out for a conversation.
