Meet Our Fellows<\/h2>\n

\"\"Amy Scott, MD<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Area of interest in CL psychiatry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a broad range of interests including perinatal psychiatry, eating disorders, and issues involving end-of-life care. In addition to teaching residents and students, I have a passion for educating non-psychiatrists about psychiatry basics, to empower them with knowledge about things like delirium management and risk assessment. I am also looking forward to learning more about the nuanced management of special populations- especially burn and transplant patients.<\/p>\n

Program Strengths \/ Why you chose UNC for fellowship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout residency at UNC I have been impressed by the CL group\u2019s support for one another, dedication to patients, and collaboration with others inside and outside of the department. UNC has high variety and acuity of medical and psychiatric patient presentations, offering a comprehensive experience that will prepare me for practice. Our program\u2019s supervisory model will allow me to \u201clevel-up\u201d my skills from what I learned as a resident on consults, while supported and mentored by our amazing group of CL faculty- some of the smartest, kindest, and funniest psychiatrists I know. I am excited to dedicate this year to learning to become an excellent CL psychiatrist in a place I already feel at home.<\/p>\n

What you enjoy about living in the Triangle\/when you move to the Triangle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never exhaust new things to do- from trying new restaurants, to attending theater productions and concerts, to finding new trails to walk on- without having to deal with the traffic and headaches of a big city.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I practice yoga 3-5 days a week, and a non-medical goal of mine is to become a yoga teacher someday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vy Le, DO<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Areas of interest in CL Psychiatry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m approaching CL psychiatry with an open mind and broad interests: I gravitate toward neuropsychiatry with additional interests in women’s mood disorders and collaborative care models, to name a few. I would also like to explore myriad possibilities in outpatient psychiatric consultation as well<\/p>\n

Program Strengths \/ Why you chose UNC for fellowship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNC strikes me as a place where compassion and clinical excellence intertwine, a tight-knit community that promises to nurture professional growth. I sense in UNC the possibility of a professional home.<\/p>\n

What you enjoy about the living in the Triangle\/when you move to the Triangle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m eager to immerse myself in the natural beauty of the Triangle, where seasons paint masterpieces in the forests. The college town atmosphere offers a good balance of intellectual engagement and relaxed living.I also appreciate the mild weather and the proximity to the mountains and the coastal areas.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I developed an early affinity for literature, learning to read at age three and memorizing Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales by age five\u2014an experience that sparked my enduring interest in human narratives and psychological journeys.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Matt Philips, MD, MPH<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Area of interest in CL psychiatry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collaborative and integrated care models, psychosocial oncology, HIV psychiatry, LGBTQ+ psychiatry and gender affirming care<\/p>\n

Program Strengths \/ Why you chose UNC for fellowship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to come to an academic program with a strong inpatient CL service and a wide breadth of outpatient CL clinics to explore my interests and develop new ones. I also wanted to be in a supportive environment that would help me develop my career. I was excited to find UNC\u2019s program which crossed all my boxes and was located in a beautiful area.<\/p>\n

What you enjoy about living in the Triangle\/when you move to the Triangle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am excited to get out of the midwestern cold and embrace the trees, sun, mountains, and beaches of North Carolina. I also have loved exploring the art and music scene during my trips to the Triangle, and I hope to continue these adventures.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On most Friday nights, you have a solid chance at catching me on a karaoke mic singing my heart out to Chappell Roan (and any number of songs I\u2019ve been practicing).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alumni<\/h2>\n

At UNC, our Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship is proud of our diverse and successful alumni network which has grown since our first graduating class in 2011. We firmly believe the mentorship and support we provide our fellows does not end with graduation. Our alumni have gone on to lead CL psychiatry services, take leadership positions in academic CL, and become successful researchers.<\/p>\n

We remain committed to staying connected with our alumni and fostering a strong sense of community. Each year, we reunite with our graduates at the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (ACLP) annual meeting for a lively alumni dinner and invite them to \u201ccome back home\u201d to Department of Psychiatry events and conferences. We’re particularly proud of the results from our 2023 alumni survey, which revealed:<\/p>\n<\/som-cell>\n
