The Department of Psychiatry's goals and philosophy are reflected in our residency training, which adheres to an eclectic approach. The residency is fully accredited for training by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

Our residency training program is very diverse and flexible based on our residents educational and family needs. We believe that our graduates should be conversant with more than only psychopharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders. 

Accordingly, we place increasing emphasis on manualized therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy in addition to more traditional insight-oriented therapy. 

Our graduates tell us that they feel quite well prepared for the general practice of psychiatry.  The residency program is fully accredited for training by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).
