Abstract:
All of the programs in the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine directory of U.S. consultation-liaison (C-L) fellowship training (N = 49) responded to a questionnaire to document composition and funding of their staff. The mean annual budget was $324,664 (range $40,000-$550,000), with a mean of 2.4 full-time equivalents and 1.6 fellowship training positions. A significant patient cohort and C-L staff and fellows exist in these programs to launch important hypothesis-generation studies.
