Andrew Chambers, MD) and submission of formal Universal Application; 3) In-person interview day and onsite visit in Indianapolis (involving overnight say).

Fellowship training typically begins in July and proceeds on a full-time basis for one year. Addiction psychiatry fellows are able to moonlight in the Indianapolis metro area as long as their fellowship-related responsibilities are met. There are no over-night or weekend call responsibilities in the IU Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship.
