Addiction Medicine Fellowship

The UNC Addiction Medicine Fellowship is a unique, 12-month program that crosses many disciplines with goal of training the next generation of Addiction Medicine Specialists.  The program accepts fellows from any ACGME accredited specialty and we are strongly committed to providing an integrated training experience, treating addiction in a multitude of settings.  Our faculty are leaders in their fields, with a creative spirit that allows innovation in the field of Addiction Medicine, creating a supportive environment while also expanding capacity for addiction treatment in North Carolina.

The fellows work in a variety of teams, learning firsthand how addiction interfaces with other specialties and professions.  The learning environment varies from direct didactic training, hands-on simulations, case-based learning, in addition to direct patient care.

The UNC Addiction Medicine Fellowship began in July 2018 and received ACGME accreditation in April 2019.  The program provides full financial support for 8 Addiction Medicine Fellows annually.
