Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry Fellowships
Thank you for your interest in pursuing additional subspecialty training in the Department of Psychiatry at Riverside University Health System. Our accredited fellowship programs in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry emphasize learning and clinical training in public sector settings within the Inland Empire.
Fellows work closely with patients, families and the healthcare, educational and legal systems. Our mission is to develop psychiatrists with expertise in their respective subspecialties, whether providing expert opinions for the legal system or consulting on child and adolescent mental health issues for families and primary care practitioners.
We support robust educational opportunities, participation in organized medicine and advocacy and personal growth through close mentorship.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship
According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) a child and adolescent psychiatrist is a physician specializing in the diagnosis of thinking, feeling or behavior disorders that impact children.
Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship
The American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (AAPL) defines forensic psychiatry as “a medical subspecialty that includes research and clinical practice in the many areas in which psychiatry is applied to legal issues.
"We support robust educational opportunities, participation in organized medicine and advocacy and personal growth through close mentorship."
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Director’s Invitation
The Riverside University Health System (RUHS) Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Program is committed to developing compassionate physicians who exemplify clinical excellence, leadership and scholarship.
Child and adolescent psychiatrists who participate in the program prepare for practice in under-resourced settings. Educational curriculum and clinical experiences emphasize the physician's relationship to their patients and patients' families as central to healing.
Patients are situated within a larger sociohistorical context. They effect change through interventions directed at the systems that are part of a patient’s daily life.
RUHS fellows embrace intellectual curiosity, champion social justice and pursue mastery of medical knowledge and clinical skills.
Please view the accompanying webpages to learn more about the program and the system of care at Riverside University Health System. We look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you may have.

Forensic Psychiatry Director's Invitation
The Riverside University Health System (RUHS) Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship Program trains psychiatrists who are intellectually curious, eager to contribute to the wellness of underserved communities and committed to the pursuit of justice for individuals who experience severe mental illness.
Offering clinical experiences in correctional psychiatry within the jail, state hospital and medical center environments, fellows are exposed to the mechanics of clinical psychiatry within the custodial setting.
Our program focuses on the mastery of forensic report writing and testimony with rigorous emphasis on historical judicial precedent, communication skills, the history of psychiatry and the ethics of forensic psychiatry.
We also offer exposure to the practice of forensic psychiatry in civil proceedings through fellow mentorship of other learners and testimony offered in a forensic capacity. We cater to and strengthen each fellow’s personal interests and foster independence and confidence in the field.
