What will I learn in a Psychiatry Redefined Fellowship?
The Psychiatry Redefined Fellowships are the most comprehensive, trusted, functional and integrative training programs for mental health professionals. In these programs, you’ll learn*:
- Precise clinical interventions to help patients finally heal, resolve underlying causes and triggers of mental illness, overcome treatment resistance, and achieve lasting recovery
- How to create personalized treatment plans to target infections, toxins, inflammation, hormones, nutrition, diet, gut health, genetics, lifestyle, and other key biomarkers related to mental illness
- The latest clinical applications in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry, and leading-edge research and interventions in functional medicine to keep you at the forefront of mental health care
- The analytical and interpretive skills to assess functional labs and tests for your patients (such as organic acids, amino acids, and others), along with the clinical recommendations for addressing test results
- Strategies to move patients beyond the current polypharmacy model, symptom management and treatment/drug resistance
*Note: In the Pediatric Fellowship, the above will focus entirely on mental health care for children, teens and adolescents.
Is a Functional and Integrative Psychiatry Fellowship really valuable?
Absolutely. Psychiatry is evolving. Patients are increasingly disillusioned with symptom-based care and polypharmacy. They are actively seeking clinicians who can offer more personalized, root-cause approaches. Our Functional and Integrative Psychiatry Fellowships equip you with the clinical frameworks and tools to meet this demand—grounded in peer-reviewed research and real-world application—so you can help patients heal, not just manage symptoms.
Are the Fellowships certified programs?
Yes! Psychiatry Redefined’s Fellowships are certified professional education programs that providing either a Psychiatry Redefined Certified Functional Psychiatry Provider (CFPP) or a Psychiatry Redefined Certified Functional Psychiatry Pediatric Provider (CFPPP) title upon completion.
You will also receive a Certificate of Training Completion. More information on certificates can be found below.

How much interest is there in functional approaches to mental health?
The demand is surging. From ADHD and anxiety to OCD and depression, patients are searching for clinicians who offer alternatives to medication-first care. Our Fellowships position you to meet this demand with confidence and clinical rigor.
Why is personalized, root-cause care the future of psychiatry?
Because holistic care is what patients are demanding—and what the science supports. By uncovering underlying biological, nutritional, genetic, and environmental factors, you can move beyond the surface to achieve true healing. Our Functional and Integrative Psychiatry Fellowships equip you to lead this shift with skill and integrity.
Are you able to incorporate functional medicine into your practice easily and are patients receptive?
Yes! While functional, integrative and nutritional psychiatry is a learning curve, with guidance from our team of expert faculty and supportive mentors, you’ll be ready to integrate new protocols immediately into practice. Feedback from fellows consistently praises our Fellowship curriculum for not only being scientific, but digestible and easy to apply with patients from Day 1. Our team of global faculty works hand-in-hand with you each month of your study to understand and develop personalized treatment plans for real patient cases. Most clinicians report that even small changes to their treatment approach have a huge impact on their patients. Thus, we also hear that most patients are receptive and welcoming of the direction and more importantly, they finally feel relief.
Can I build a more successful psychiatry practice with this training?
Yes—but not through gimmicks or shortcuts. What sets successful practices apart today is clinical excellence. Patients are more discerning, and they’re looking for effective treatment. Psychiatry Redefined helps you deliver just that. Many of our graduates have full practices and long wait lists, built not on marketing alone, but on results.
What do graduates say about the Fellowship’s impact?
95% of Psychiatry Redefined Fellows report greater job satisfaction after completing a Functional and Integrative Psychiatry Fellowship, and 95% say their patients are more satisfied with the care they receive. Graduates consistently share that the Fellowship transforms not just their practice—but their purpose. They become known in their communities for a more thoughtful, personalized approach that gets to the root of illness. You can read more fellow testimonials here.
How does Psychiatry Redefined’s Fellowship complement a traditional psychiatric practice?
Our Fellowships were designed by clinicians, for clinicians. Every module is built to integrate seamlessly with traditional training, adding clinical depth and biological insight—not replacing, but expanding your treatment toolbox. Graduates routinely report improved patient outcomes, deeper therapeutic relationships, and greater career fulfillment as a result.
What’s the difference between the General Fellowship and the Pediatric Fellowship?
The General Fellowship in Functional & Integrative Psychiatry is our flagship program, launched over five years ago by Dr. James Greenblatt and a team of leading experts in functional medicine for mental health. This comprehensive, one-year program is designed for clinicians treating adult populations, and provides deep training in nine core clinical areas that support a personalized, root-cause approach to psychiatric care.
In response to growing demand, Dr. Greenblatt partnered with renowned pediatric integrative psychiatrist Dr. Nancy O’Hara to create a dedicated Pediatric Fellowship. This program is specifically designed for clinicians who work with children and adolescents and want to integrate functional, nutritional, and environmental medicine into pediatric mental health care.
While both fellowships teach the foundational principles of functional psychiatry, the Pediatric Fellowship tailors its approach, tools, and case studies to the unique needs of younger patients.
General Fellowship Key Focus Areas:
- Nutritional & Metabolic Psychiatry
- Infections & Immune Dysregulation
- Genetics & Personalized Medicine
- Environmental Medicine (e.g., mold, toxins)
- Functional Labs & Testing
- Medication Management & Side Effects
- Hormone Imbalances
- Psychedelics & Emerging Therapies
- Gut-Brain Axis & Microbiome
Pediatric Fellowship Key Focus Areas:
- ADHD & Disruptive Behavior Disorders
- Nutritional Psychiatry & Gut Health
- Neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, etc.)
- Genetic Testing in Pediatrics
- Functional Medicine Labs for Children
- Pediatric Anxiety & Mood Disorders
- Mold, Lyme, PANS/PANDAS
- Pediatric Suicide Prevention
- Eating Disorders in Youth
Do both Psychiatry Redefined Fellowships cover integrative treatment for OCD, Depression, and ADHD?
Yes. Both the General Fellowship and Pediatric Fellowship provide in-depth, evidence-based protocols for the functional assessment and integrative treatment of OCD, Depression, ADHD, and many other mental health conditions. While the foundational principles are shared, each Fellowship is tailored to the population it serves—ensuring that you receive clinically applicable guidance for your patient base.
Which Psychiatry Redefined Fellowship is right for me?
Choosing the right Fellowship depends on your patient population, clinical goals, and interests.
- If you primarily treat adults, the General Fellowship is likely the best fit. This program provides broad training in functional and integrative psychiatry for adults, with deep dives into lab testing, nutritional psychiatry, environmental toxins, hormonal imbalances, and more.
- If your work focuses on children, adolescents, or young adults, or if you’re a pediatrician, family nurse practitioner, or child psychiatrist, the Pediatric Fellowship is tailored to your needs. It emphasizes pediatric-specific functional testing, neurodevelopmental differences, microbiome issues in children, and early interventions that support resilience and recovery.
- If you treat patients across the lifespan or want a comprehensive foundation in both adult and pediatric functional psychiatry, many clinicians choose to complete both Fellowships together through our bundled program.

What makes Psychiatry Redefined’s Fellowship different from other programs offering certified functional and integrative mental health training?
Unlike many “fast-track” functional medicine trainings, Psychiatry Redefined is clinically rigorous and academically credible led by global clinicians. Our program is rooted in over 30 years of research and practice by Dr. James Greenblatt, a board-certified psychiatrist and leading pioneer in Functional Psychiatry. See how we compare to other online training programs.
We don’t offer weekend certifications or practice-growth schemes. We offer a transformative, evidence-based education that equips clinicians to truly help patients heal. With 28 expert faculty, live clinical supervision, and a structured curriculum, we are the gold standard in Functional Psychiatry education.
How is Psychiatry Redefined different from other “integrative psychiatry” courses?
Many other programs offer fragmented or non-clinical overviews of integrative psychiatry, often designed to be quick credentials or business boosters. Psychiatry Redefined is different.
We offer in-depth, scientifically validated, clinically tested protocols. Our Fellowships aren’t about hype—they are focused on evidence-backed healing, grounded in decades of clinical research and supported by world-class clinical faculty.
Why does science-backed training matter in Functional Psychiatry?
Functional Psychiatry is only effective when it’s grounded in real science. At Psychiatry Redefined, we don’t rely on trends or anecdotal claims. Every protocol we teach is supported by peer-reviewed research, biochemical testing, and clinical experience. That’s why physicians, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists trust our training—it enhances credibility and outcomes alike.
What are the clinical focus areas covered in each Fellowship?
We provide two comprehensive Fellowship programs, each with specific clinical focus areas:
Our General Fellowship in Functional & Integrative Psychiatry is built around nine essential, science-backed areas of clinical focus that provide the organizational structure for our curriculum, inform our approach to care, and serve as the overarching theme of integrative and functional medicine for psychiatry.
- Nutritional & Metabolic Psychiatry: Our brain and body cannot function properly without the appropriate nutrients. Nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin D, B12, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, omega-3 fats and others can all play a detrimental role in brain function. Likewise, many mental health disorders can be impacted by imbalances in the body’s metabolism, as a result of diet, genetics, and stress. By properly assessing and treating nutritional imbalances and metabolic factors (like insulin resistance and inflammation), symptoms of mental health conditions often improve or resolve. Interventions may include ketogenic diets/low-carb, lifestyle changes, supplementation, and medication.
- Infections: Some infections, such as Lyme disease, streptococcus and clostridium can cause or contribute to mental health problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. While often overlooked, knowing how to assess for and treat chronic infections can be a critical factor in helping patients recover from mental illness.
- Genetics: Genetics play a role in the development of many mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia. Understanding how to assess genetic markers and modify treatment appropriately is a fundamental component of both Functional and Personalized Medicine.
- Environmental Medicine: Environmental factors such as exposure to mold and toxins, like heavy metals, plastics and pesticides, among numerous others, can contribute to the development of health problems, including mental health conditions. Toxic compounds are known to have detrimental effects on the brain and nervous system, from causing inflammation to disrupting neurotransmitter function. Identifying and treating toxicities can also play a role in a patient’s recovery from mental illness.
- Functional Medicine Labs & Testing: The core of Functional Psychiatry is objective laboratory testing that can be used to identify and monitor the underlying causes and factors that contribute to mental health. For example, blood tests can be used to check for nutritional deficiencies, endocrine dysregulation, microbiome disruptions, genetic markers, toxicities, infections and inflammation, all of which can contribute to mental illness. Lab testing can help in both identifying the causes and monitoring a patient’s progress during treatment.
- Psychiatric Medications & Side Effects: Medication treatments for mental health conditions, while not typically a cure, still have their place. Using medications appropriately when needed can help patients in their recovery. In addition, through the proper application of Functional Medicine, it is often possible to reduce or eliminate common medication side effects, improving patient compliance.
- Hormones: Hormones, including the sex hormones, thyroid hormones and insulin, can all play a role in the development of mental health disorders. Measuring and treating hormone dysregulation can be another powerful tool on the path to recovery from mental illness.
- Psychedelics: Psychedelics have been shown to be effective in the treatment of some mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. While not a panacea, psychedelics can help to alter the brain’s chemistry and promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to change and adapt.
- Gastrointestinal Microbiome: The gastrointestinal microbiome plays a significant role in both physical and mental health. Through a number of different mechanisms, the brain influences the gut and vice versa. By assessing for and addressing microbiome disturbances, many patients notice improvements in both physical and mental health symptoms.
The Pediatric Functional & Integrative Psychiatry Fellowship is built on nine topics essential to comprehensive pediatric care. These areas of clinical focus provide the structure for program curriculum, and address the gaps in traditional psychiatry and pediatric medicine.
- ADHD & Disruptive Behavior Disorders: Integrative psychiatry offers breakthrough and holistic strategies to optimize brain function, emotional regulation, and behavior. Discover evidence-based nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle interventions that go beyond conventional treatments for lasting results.
- Nutritional Psychiatry & Gut Microbiome Unlock the power of the gut-brain connection, and explore how targeted nutrition, pre and probiotics, and lifestyle interventions can transform mental health. By identifying and correcting critical nutritional deficits and microbiome disruptions, and reducing inflammation, providers can improve mental health outcomes.
-
Neurodiversity: Discover integrative, science-backed strategies to support children with ADHD, autism, and other neurodevelopmental differences. Learn how personalized nutrition, targeted supplementation, and mind-body therapies can enhance cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall resilience.
-
Genetic Testing: Gain the confidence and the tools to personalize treatment plans based on a child’s unique genetic profile. Leverage cutting-edge genetic insights and testing to optimize medication choices, minimize side effects, and enhance therapeutic outcomes for pediatric patients.
-
Functional Medicine Testing: Advanced laboratory testing methods can be invaluable for identifying underlying biochemical, nutritional, and metabolic factors contributing to mental health conditions. Our Fellowship provides a practical foundation for Functional Medicine testing for patient care.
- Anxiety & Mood Disorders: Combines advanced strategies, including functional medicine testing, to learn how personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, mind-body practices, and lab assessments can help address the root causes of anxiety and mood disorders, promoting emotional stability and healthier coping mechanisms. Gain practical tools to create holistic, individualized treatment plans that enhance long-term mental health outcomes in young patients.
- Mold, Lyme & PANS/PANDAS: This topic addresses infections, toxins and more by exploring approaches to manage complex conditions. Learn how targeted detoxification, nutritional support, immune modulation, and environmental interventions can restore balance and improve mental and physical health in children affected by these disorders and exposures.
-
Suicide Prevention: Our Fellowship provides a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing risk factors such as inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, gut-brain imbalances, and chronic stress and strengthening resilience in at-risk youth. Learn how nutrition, lifestyle interventions, mind-body techniques, and targeted supplementation can support mental well-being and suicide prevention beyond conventional methods.
- Eating Disorders: Learn how to support whole-person care and restore healthy relationships with food and body with root-cause healing and nutritional therapy. Learn evidence-based strategies, including gut-brain support, targeted supplementation, and behavioral interventions, to promote long-term recovery in children and adolescents.
What are the fundamental principles of the Fellowships?
Psychiatry Redefined Fellowships are comprehensive programs built on key pillars: clinical mastery, community support, practice coordination, and comprehensive care.
We incorporate the latest integrative, nutritional, and functional medicine with practical, precision medicine strategies to expand how you provide psychiatric care, along with the guidance and support to elevate your practice and deliver lasting wellness to your patients.

- Comprehensive Care: We provide step-by-step guidance for developing whole-person treatment plans and providing collaborative client care.
What is Psychiatry Redefined’s stance on psychiatric medications?
Psychiatry Redefined supports the thoughtful and individualized use of medication as one tool among many in the treatment of mental illness. Dr. James Greenblatt, a dual-certified psychiatrist and our Medical Director, has over 35 years of experience integrating medication with functional medicine protocols.
Our philosophy is not anti-medication—it’s right medication, right patient, right time. We teach clinicians to prioritize a comprehensive, root-cause assessment that includes nutritional, metabolic, genetic, and environmental factors before initiating or adjusting medications. When medications are necessary, we guide clinicians on how to use them safely and effectively—often in lower doses, and with fewer side effects.
We also emphasize deprescribing and safe antidepressant withdrawal protocols, helping patients reduce or eliminate medications when clinically appropriate. Our goal is always to support the least invasive, most personalized, and sustainable path to mental wellness.
How long does each Fellowship run?
Each Fellowship is a 12-month program, and fellows are granted 18 months of access to all Psychiatry Redefined curriculum from program start date—including courses, special lectures, webinars, conference presentations, and resources—plus access to the private Community for invaluable and ongoing fellow-faculty-peer discussion and networking.
Fellows of either Fellowship program may proceed through curriculum at their own pace during their term of study, but we encourage Fellows to follow the curriculum schedule outlined in the syllabus to keep pace with group and testing sessions that are held monthly.
- General Fellowship: Two cohorts generally run simultaneously each year, with one beginning in January (Winter session) and one beginning in July (Summer session).
- Pediatric Fellowship: One cohort generally runs per year beginning in August (Summer session).

Additionally, Dr. Greenblatt and faculty offer complimentary discovery webinars and phone calls to anyone considering a Fellowship program. This is a unique opportunity for prospective fellows to learn about the training, and determine whether the Fellowship programs match their professional needs.
Are the fellowships appropriate for psychotherapists?
The Fellowship training programs are designed for mental health clinicians interested in nutritional metabolic medicine, holistic and integrative care and functional medicine. It is geared towards those professions that can order testing as well as make recommendations for supplements. The vast majority of the fellows are physicians, nurse practitioners and naturopaths, though there are increasing numbers of dietitians and therapists who have found immense benefits in the educational content from these programs.
I am a student. Am I eligible to enroll?
Students in training to achieve any of the following qualifications (MD; RN; NP; PA; LPN; PMHNP; PMHNP-bcs; LCSW; LPC; LMHC; ND; LAc, licensed/registered dietician/nutritionist; certified herbalist) and/or an advanced degree in neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, nutrition, nutritional science, or related fields are welcome to enroll in our Fellowship programs.
PLEASE NOTE: Some course content may be challenging for students who have not yet taken postgraduate-level coursework in topics such as cellular biology, neuroscience, biochemistry and metabolism. If you are unsure if the Fellowship program is appropriate for you at this stage in your academic and/or clinical education, please email our Fellowship Director at fellowship@psychiatryredefined.org and she will respond to you directly, and would be happy to answer questions and/or connect you with Dr. James Greenblatt.
Do you offer scholarships or student discounts?
Yes! We offer a discount on Fellowship tuition for full-time students as well as medical/psychiatric residents and interns. We also offer scholarships for certain individuals who may qualify.
If you would like to be considered for the student discount or a scholarship, please email our Fellowship Director at fellowship@psychiatryredefined.org and she will reply to you directly with more information. Please be prepared to provide contact information for your current academic advisor(s) and/or residency supervisor so that we may verify your status as a student/resident/intern.
Do I need to have prior Integrative or Functional Medicine Training?
Familiarity with the basic concepts of integrative and/or functional medicine will be helpful for those beginning a Fellowship program, but it is not a requirement. We welcome any and all healthcare professionals who seek to advance their standards of practice and participate in the evolution of modern psychiatry.
Our Fellowship programs are for you if you wish to:
- Improve therapeutic outcomes for your patients
- Learn how to apply objective biologic measurement to create scientifically-informed, personalized treatment plans for your patients

I recently enrolled and I'm overwhelmed with all this new information; are there resources available to help me?
We appreciate that immersion into a novel program of study can occasionally be overwhelming, and that Fellows who may not have prior experience in functional medicine theory or application may initially feel a bit inundated.
Rest assured that there are multiple resources at your disposal to help ease you into your program of study:
- All newly enrolled Fellows are encouraged to attend a Fellowship Orientation/Meet & Greet sessions. These optional live webinars are held leading up to and at the beginning of each Fellowship program, and intended to serve as an introductory guide to the program. Hosted by Dr. Greenblatt and/or other faculty members, these sessions will review key components of the Fellowships, and provide ample time for open-forum Q&A. Details on these Zoom meetings will be provided upon enrollment and/or emailed directly to fellows when scheduled and available.
- Discuss your concerns and questions with faculty during provided faculty office hours.
- Any questions you have may be posted for peer feedback and discussion in the private Fellows Community.
- You may always email questions to fellowship@psychiatryredefined.org.
Fellowship Sessions & Mentoring
What are Fellowship live sessions?
Live sessions (clinical rounds/discussions) are live Zoom calls with faculty to review curriculum and readings, discuss real patient cases, treatment plans, lab testing and more. These are an invaluable opportunity to gain clinical guidance from and interact with our faculty each month. Sessions typically begin with a brief presentation led by Dr. Greenblatt and/or faculty to review monthly topics, followed by robust case discussion and an open Q&A with all fellows.
The Fellowship programs provide multiple faculty-led live sessions each month, including live sessions to cover Core Curriculum, monthly office hours, and special sessions with faculty on targeted topics and testing methodologies.
Live sessions are not a required component of the Fellowships, but we consider them essential to the Fellowship trainings: our fellows consistently say that the live sessions are the most valuable portion of their training. Live sessions generally last about 1 hour, and are held live via Zoom. All live sessions are recorded so you can view them later in your student account in the LMS (learning management system).
How do I join the the live group sessions?
Group sessions are held mid-week at 8:00 pm EST (unless otherwise noted). Upon enrollment, you’ll be find a syllabus and schedule in our learning management system (the LMS) that details the full session schedule, alongside Zoom links, special presentations, and more.
Before each live session, we request that you click the respective Zoom link to register. Zoom details and links will be emailed to you so you can join the session webinar in real-time. In the event that faculty needs to reschedule a session (life happens!), fellows will be emailed immediately with the update and new date/time.
When do the live sessions begin?
Live group sessions begin during the first month of each Fellowship cohort (summer or winter). The first live session marks the official beginning of each Fellowship.
- General Fellowship: The first live session for the January 2026 Fellowship will be held on January 14, 2026. Live sessions for each cohort typically begin mid-January (Winter cohort) and mid-July (Summer cohort). Live sessions are held 2-3 times a month, generally on Wednesdays at 5pm PST/8pm ET.
- Pediatric Fellowship: Live sessions for the Summer cohort began in August 2025. Live sessions are held twice a month, generally on Mondays at 5pm PST/8pm ET.
The full monthly schedule can be found in the syllabus provided in our learning management system (the LMS). Additionally, fellows will receive regular correspondence from the Fellowship Director about upcoming sessions. Dates and times, along with Zoom links, instructions and access information, can all be found within the LMS system in the course titled, “Syllabus.”
For more information on enrollment and activation of your account, please see the Enrollment & Eligibility FAQ section below.
What are the small group mentoring sessions?
The small group mentoring sessions are dedicated support groups led by faculty, community leaders and former fellows for the General Fellowship. These group sessions provide fellows with a unique opportunity to find guidance and resources for special and niche topics.
Further details related to small groups (schedules and instructions), will be released in the LMS closer to each cohort starting date.
What is the difference between live sessions and office hours?
Live sessions (clinical rounds/discussions) are offered twice a month with Dr. Greenblatt and faculty to review the monthly core curriculum outlined in the syllabus for each Fellowship program. Special topic sessions are offered 1-2 times a month to cover specific clinical topics and functional protocols. Live sessions typically begin with a brief presentation by Dr. Greenblatt and/or faculty, followed by robust case discussion and an open Q&A with all fellows. These sessions last about one hour, and are held live via Zoom. All sessions are recorded so you can view them later in your student account.
Office hours are set up to provide more in-depth case discussion, testing guidance and on-demand guidance, and answer fellow questions on a 1:1 basis. Office hours feature Dr. Greenblatt along with faculty who have specific expertise that coincides with the monthly syllabus topic.
When are live sessions and office hours held each month?
Overview of Live Events
- Live Sessions: Live sessions are held twice monthly, and special topic sessions are held 1-2 times a month. The live session schedule for each Fellowship program can be found in the learning management system (the LMS), within your “Syllabus” course. Here you will find all available session dates, times and links for each month. Monthly schedules are released on a rolling basis as we progress through the year. All sessions are held live via Zoom and recorded for later viewing; these recordings can be found within each Fellowship syllabus.
- General Fellowship: Sessions are generally held Wednesdays at 5pm PT / 8pm ET, unless otherwise noted.

Is participation in sessions mandatory? What if I cannot attend a live session?
We highly recommend that Fellows join as many group and special topic sessions (live clinical discussions conducted via Zoom) as they can, so that they get the most out of the real-time Q&A with Dr. Greenblatt and faculty. However, attendance at session is not a requirement, and if you are unable to join a given session you will be able to access the recording later via within your student account in our learning dashboard (LMS).
Please note: We work as quickly as possible to upload the latest session recordings in a timely manner. Recordings generally require 4-6 business days of post-production before made available in your syllabus. We thank you for your patience!
I see "Recommended Readings" listed on the Syllabus; do I have to read these ahead of each session?
As many of our Fellows enjoy delving deeper into various topics, we provide academic and professional articles to Fellows as optional adjuncts to learning. These are available in the Learning Management System (LMS) within your specific Fellowship cohort Syllabus.
These articles have been carefully selected such that they correspond with each month’s Core Curriculum course or session topic, and invite a deeper understanding of the some of the concepts that will be reviewed each month and/or presented during sessions.
These Recommended Readings, however, are not required for completion of the Fellowship programs, nor are they required for session attendance and participation.
Will I be able to present and discuss questions from real clinical cases?
Yes! Our Fellowship programs are not only educational experiences, but collaborative ones. Learning how to apply your knowledge in real-life clinical contexts and improve patient outcomes is part of our guiding principles. Fellows are encouraged to present clinical cases for discussion, to stimulate group discourse and glean valuable insights from Dr. Greenblatt.
- Community Forum: We encourage Fellows to present clinical cases for group review, weigh-in on questions and topics, and ask specific questions about clinical cases via the private Fellow Community. Dr. Greenblatt, faculty and mentors maintain active participation, and will comment on cases presented therein.
- Group Sessions: These live group sessions provide another opportunity to present clinical cases and ask questions. Q&A is built into the timetable for every sessions, and faculty will present briefly, then answer questions pertaining to the topic at hand.
- Submitting Questions: Questions may be submitted directly to the Faculty member moderating the Group Session via Zoom. Alternatively, you may submit questions and/or cases ahead of time to Heather Getz at hgetz@psychiatryredefined.org, who will provide them to the relevant faculty member leading the upcoming session.
PLEASE NOTE: Fellows who participate in forum discussions via the Community are solely responsible for adhering to policies for Patient Privacy & Confidentiality in accordance with all relevant institutional, state, and federal laws, along with our Fellowship Terms & Conditions.
Do I need a Zoom account to join the sessions?
A Zoom account is not required if you are joining a Zoom webinar meeting as a participant. For more details about the Zoom platform, please visit Zoom.us.
Can I ask questions or submit cases for faculty to discuss during sessions?
Yes, and we encourage Fellows to take advantage of the forum that sessions provide in terms of discussion, questions, and case presentations.
When first reminders are sent out to fellows by the Fellowship Director, they will include an invitation to submit cases and/or questions by email in advance of each session. Questions may be submitted in the body of an email to the Fellowship Director.
For case presentations, patient information and/or test data may be submitted as attachments (text or scanned documents). Please DO NOT submit more than five separate attachments per case. Please read the following FAQ regarding case submission policies.
Please note: There is often a deadline for advance submission of questions or cases to allow our team adequate time to prepare material for the session and faculty. Emailed cases and questions are not accepted beyond this deadline. However, Fellows may still ask questions via the chat function in Zoom.
What do I need to know about submitting cases for live sessions or in the Community forum?
All Fellows are SOLELY responsible for responsible for adhering to policies for Patient Privacy and Confidentiality in accordance with all relevant institutional, state, and federal laws as well as our Fellowship Terms & Conditions.

Fellowship Program Completion & Certification
Will I be certified in Functional Psychiatry upon completion of a Fellowship?
Yes! When you complete the General Fellowship in Functional Psychiatry and the Pediatric Fellowship in Functional Psychiatry training in full, you can become a Psychiatry Redefined Certified Functional Psychiatry Provider (CFPP) or a Psychiatry Redefined Certified Functional Psychiatry Pediatric Provider (CFPPP), and receive a Certificate of Training Completion – titles provided exclusively by Psychiatry Redefined.
To obtain a certified title and certification, fellows must complete all courses of the Core Curriculum, and pass a final curriculum exam is required for both Fellowship programs. Claiming eligibility for a certification/title is entirely optional. See the questions below for further details. Click here to learn more about certification and see the questions below for further details.
*Education & Certification Disclaimer: Psychiatry Redefined is neither a regulatory nor licensing organization and therefore not sanctioned to certify, license, or otherwise bestow the legal authorization to practice as a psychiatrist, nurse or nurse practitioner (NP), physician’s assistant (PA), psychologist, naturopathic doctor, nutritionist, physician, or other mental health professional. Certification from the Fellowship trainings certifies a candidate’s completion of said Fellowship training ONLY. Our Fellowships ARE NOT intended to replace, override, or conflict with existing board certification or national licensing requirements for health professionals and their requirements for practice in their state of residency and practice. Our Fellowships ARE NOT intended to replace formal clinical education or to provide qualifications for independent clinical practice. Certifications from our Fellowship trainings do not automatically translate into or qualify for clinical practice privileges. Completing our Fellowship trainings does not imply or guarantee the legal right to practice medicine or provide clinical services.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes! Upon completion of all Core Curriculum and passing the Curriculum Exam (both specific to each Fellowship), you may receive a Certificate of Completion and a certified provider title.
To help you market your valuable knowledge and clinical skills in functional medicine for mental health, we also provide a promotional badge that fellows can use on their communication and promotional materials by fellows. Many fellows find this to be a helpful tool to expand their practice and help patients understand their personalized, whole-person approach to care.
CME Certification: These are also available to those who intend to claim CME credits for their participation in the specific and accredited courses in our Fellowship trainings. These CME certificates are separate certifications that have been approved by the ACCME. Please see the CME section of the FAQs page for more information.
Why is certification in Functional Psychiatry important?
When you complete a Psychiatry Redefined Fellowship, you will become a certified provider and you may obtain a Certificate of Completion – both exclusively bestowed by Psychiatry Redefined.
These certifications establish yourself as a leader in the field of mental health care, and distinguish you from colleagues. It communicates to colleagues, employers and patients an extensive competency unavailable in any other professional mental health training.
Functional medicine providers for mental illness are in extremely high demand by patients and employers. These certifications clear a path towards a rewarding career in functional medicine. For many alumni, these trainings kick start a thriving private practice in functional and integrative medicine. For alumni associated with larger health care organizations, fellows are now implementing new functional interventions to improve institutional approaches and care strategies.
What’s the difference between a certification and a Fellowship in Integrative Psychiatry?
Functional and Integrative Psychiatry certifications can be earned in a weekend. A Fellowship at Psychiatry Redefined is earned over a year—with depth, mentorship, and clinical immersion. It reflects not just your knowledge, but your readiness to deliver advanced, personalized psychiatric care with confidence and credibility.
What are the steps for becoming certified?
After the first year (12 months) of your Fellowship study, you eligible to become a Certified Provider and receive a Certificate of Completion. Completing all courses and claiming eligibility for a certificate is entirely optional.
Fellowship Certification Requirements:
- Fellows must complete all core (required) courses that comprise the Core Curriculum (found in each Fellowship syllabus).
- Fellows must pass a final certification exam.
- After the first year of study, fellows who have both completed all curriculum and passed the Certification Exam may obtain a Fellowship Certificate of Completion and official recognition as a Certified Provider.
What are the required components of the Psychiatry Redefined Fellowships?
General Fellowship: All Core Curriculum (required courses) is marked as such in your syllabus. There are typically 1-3 courses required for each topic/month. Completion of all core courses and passing the final Curriculum Exam are both required in order to obtain certification (optional) and inclusion in the PR Provider Directory.
Pediatric Fellowship: All courses outlined in the Pediatric Syllabus are required, and fellows must pass a final Curriculum Exam in order to obtain certification and inclusion in the PR Provider Directory.
Completing all Core Curriculum, passing the final exam, and claiming eligibility for certification is entirely optional. Fellows are not required to pursue Provider Certification for either Fellowship program. Fellows have access to all courses and program material for 18 months; fulfillment of these completion requirements may be claimed anytime after the first year of study.
Will Psychiatry Redefined track my total course hours through the duration of my Fellowship?
No. Fellows who wish to track their course, session participation, and/or mentoring hours are responsible for doing so as they progress through said Fellowship program. For helpful reference, the following is a rough estimation of total hours (learning and curriculum, faculty interaction, etc):
- Over 315 learning hours from courses, webinars, lectures, conference presentations, educational material and readings
- Approximately 50 hours of combined faculty supervisions and mentoring/office hours
To assist in your progression through the curriculum, the PR Learning Dashboard (LMS) automatically tracks course and module progress, and saves all progress upon each exit of the system.
Is there a way to maintain my access to course materials once I have completed a Fellowship program?
Yes! Fellows may extend their access indefinitely to the learning platform (LMS) including all courses and material by purchasing the Extended Fellowship Subscription. Regular Fellowship enrollment provides access to all education material for 18 months from each specific Fellowship program start date (the date of the first live session). The Extended Fellowship Subscription will grant another full year of access to Fellowship material.

Do you provide CE credits?
No, we do not provide CE credits for any of our curriculum at this time.
Do I have to claim and report CME credit for accredited courses when participating in the Fellowship?
No; pursuing CME credits for accredited courses is entirely optional.
You are not required to report credits to the ACCME. However, credits claimed for each course are tracked and reported to the ACCME annually, so it’s incumbent upon our fellows to report and claim hours accurately.
What entity is the designated CME provider for Psychiatry Redefined?
The designated CME provider for Psychiatry Redefined is: Comprehensive Psychiatric Resources, Inc.
Do I have to pass tests along the way?
If you intend to claim CME credits for any of the accredited courses, you must complete, submit and score a passing grade for said course tests. The minimum passing grade for CME tests is 80%. If you score below this grade on your first attempt, you may revisit the module lecture (with the online course player), then retake the quiz up to three times.
If you do not wish to claim CME credits, then you do not need to take or pass each post-test. While post-test help you obtain certification, they are meant to reinforce knowledge gained in course lectures, and should be viewed as an adjunct to learning.
How do I fulfill CME requirements for each accredited course?
In order to fulfill CME requirements for each accredited course you must:
- Complete all module post-tests for said course. CME post-test require a passing grade of 80%. You are given three attempts to pass the post-test and there is not time constraint/delay for taking/retaking tests.
- Complete the Course Evaluation for said course
Once all required components have been completed, instructions will be provided for obtaining your CME Certificate for that course.
How do I view and complete course post-tests and evaluations for CME courses?
Instructions for completing certification and obtaining your certificate are provided at the end of each accredited course. You can also find each CME Certification “course” on your student (LMS) dashboard.
Each CME Certification “course” is a separate component from the educational course itself. These CME Certification courses contain: all accreditation information, the required course post-tests, required course evaluations and/or links, and a form for generating your personalized CME Certificate.
Do I have to complete a Course Evaluation for every accredited course for which I want to claim credit?
Yes, per ACCME policies and requirements, you must complete a course evaluation for every CME-approved course for which you want to claim CME credit.
Do I have to complete all tests and evaluations in one sitting?
No. Just like the individual modules of the online courses, your progress is saved in your student account as you go.
The course post-tests and required evaluations for accredited courses can be completed at your own pace. If you need a break after finishing the first test, for example, you may pause; you may then return to the course player, and you can pick up where you left off.
Do I have to report my credits to the ACCME?
No. Courses approved for CME by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and MedicusCME do not require that you report your obtained credits after course completion and certification.
However, we strongly encourage all Fellows to stay abreast of the latest credit reporting guidelines for each type of credit they are pursuing to remain in compliance with their respective state board.
I previously completed a Psychiatry Redefined course that is now approved for CME credit. Can I claim retroactive credit?
No; CME credits can only be claimed for courses that were completed within our terms of active credit approval. The term of approval for Psychiatry Redefined’s current CME courses began September 1st, 2019. If you completed any of these courses prior to this date, you cannot claim CME credits.
