 Hi, my name is Malik Burnett and I'm one of the Addiction Medicine Fellows here at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Our program is part of the Department of Psychiatry and the Division of Addiction Research and Treatment and we see patients at the University of Maryland Medical Center, the Midtown campus and at the VA here in Baltimore. Due to our hospital being a level one trauma center, we're able to see all different types of patients with substance use disorder. In addition, our consult liaison service allows us to be involved in the treatment of a wide variety of patients across the hospital, the teaching of medical students and residents throughout our time in the program. Our department was an early adopter of telemedicine and telemedicine services allows to provide substance abuse treatment and co-occurring psychiatric disorder services to many rural areas across the state of Maryland and including utilizing a mobile van that goes out into different parts of the state will soon be providing substance use and co-occurring psychiatric disorder services to the state prisons as well. It's going to be a very exciting opportunity. Teaching and supervision are provided by the core faculty here in our program. Many of them have been part of the program and gone through it themselves. Some of them have been involved with the program for the past two decades. They're very invested in our development as fellows and provide us with a wide array of experiences from the time that we get here to the time that we leave and ultimately we will be pretty well-trained addiction medicine physicians ready to go out in the world and take care of people with substance use disorder. Hi, I'm Dene DeRocco and I'm an addiction psychiatry fellow here at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I graduated from the General Psychiatry Fellowship here at the University of Maryland Medical Center Shepherd Pratt program and decided to stay for my addiction training because of the diversity of clinical experiences that we have, the dedicated teaching faculty and the collegial and fun environment of the division. In addition to the experiences that we share with the addiction medicine fellows, the addiction psychiatry fellows work at the VA where we see patients with co-occurring disorders handle psychopharmacology for psychiatric disorders and addictions and participate in group and individual therapy through the intensive outpatient program there. Our training allows us to see patients from adolescents to geriatrics. We get to act as expert consultants for the Maryland Addiction Consultation Service where we provide advice to primary care physicians and other general practitioners on addiction related matters for patients. We get to consult on the ECHO project and we have opportunities for electives including sports psychiatry and employee assistance programs. We also have opportunities for learning about telepsychiatry with a half-day clinic every day throughout the year where we reach patients in rural parts of Maryland who don't have access to addiction services and we also have research opportunities through collaborations with the University of Maryland College Park. We look forward to welcoming you to our fellowship soon. Both programs have run side-by-side since the 1990s and they are among the first programs to offer fellowship training in addictions. Together they have graduated over 60 fellows who practice across the country and overseas. Perhaps the greatest strength of the program is clinical training, though we are also expected and mentored to participate in research and teaching. We have the opportunity to train in a variety of sites. At University of Maryland Medical Center we work on the Substance Abuse Consult Service which is one of the oldest CL services in the country dedicated to substance use disorders. It receives about 2,000 patient referrals per year making it one of the busiest consult services in the hospital. At the University of Maryland Medical Center we have the opportunity to work in one of the oldest consult liaison services in the country.

We work in an opioid treatment program through the University of Maryland Medical Center for office-based buprenorphine and methadone. The site also offers co-located primary care, infectious disease and psychiatric services for patients. A highlight of the active academic program includes weekly seminars, book clubs and a journal club. All addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine fellows participate in the academic program which allows for richer learning across academic disciplines.
