Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship

Under the supervision and direction of Dr. Barbara McDermott, the fellows meet weekly in a research seminar designed to provide an overview of research methodology and research applications relevant to forensic psychiatry.  The scope is broad, ranging from research design issues to the admissibility of research findings and psychological testing cited by expert witnesses.

Fellows are are required to write a paper between 12-15 pages (not including references) of a quality to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.  The paper must focus on a topic in forensic psychiatry.  Fellows can choose to write a paper summarizing their forensic research or write an overview of a specific area in the field of forensic psychiatry.
