Recognized for more than 30 years of invaluable contributions to his field, Dr. Forrester parlays his extensive knowledge into three separate roles. Before entering the medical field in a professional capacity, he earned a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and an MD from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Upon graduating, Dr. Forrester trained for three years as an internal medicine resident at the Mount Auburn Hospital, Cambridge, MA. Upon completion of the internal medicine residency, he returned to the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions as a resident in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, followed by one year of fellowship in Affective Disorders.
