VISN 4 MIRECC

VA Stars and Stripes Network

Educational Activities: Training Opportunities

The Philadelphia hub of our MIRECC has been awarded funding for two Fellows through the VA Special Fellowships Program in Advanced Psychiatry and Psychology.  Go to the Fellowship link for a full description.  The first VISN 4 MIRECC Fellow joined us in July 2001 and since then seven Fellows have received specialized training and experience in the clinical care and research of psychiatric patients with comorbid medical and/or substance use disorders. 

Informal training opportunities also are made available to care providers and other professionals.  For example, in years past, the MIRECC has offered a class to train investigators in setting up and managing databases.
