Program description
The University of Maryland program is one of the oldest and most well-established forensic training programs in the country. It is fully accredited by the ACGME. Our graduates include many successful and highly regarded forensic clinicians throughout Maryland and the country. Former fellows serve as clinicians, educators, and hospital administrators. Previous fellowship program directors have served in leadership positions in national and state organizations, including the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. The program is rigorous and well-received by trainees.

Fellows divide their time between Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center, the state’s only maximum-security forensic hospital; the Medical Office of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City; and the Howard County Detention Center. The fellows perform evaluations under supervision, participate in some treatment settings, and provide forensic reports and testimony.
Offers forensic elective for residents at the University of Maryland, Georgetown University, and Johns Hopkins University. Contact program director for details.
