Dr. Mwamba Malekani '19 on Psychiatry Fellowship at Cincinnati Children's

Dr. Mwamba Malekani ’19 is a third-year resident in psychiatry at Authority Health GME Consortium in Detroit, Michigan. This summer, she is planning to fast-track into a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where she will have the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population, develop expertise in treating eating disorders, and gain experience with new psychiatric treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy. Dr. Malekani became interested in pediatric psychiatry after working at a residential unit for young women during medical school. Dr. Malekani credits her time at the University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS) for teaching her the importance of asking for help and building lifelong friendships and mentors. Dr. Malekani encourages students interested in child psychiatry to get involved with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and gain as much exposure to pediatric rotations and child psychiatry as possible.
