Special Features
As a referral center for our region, our program gives our residents exposure to a wide range of psychopathology. We offer our residents the opportunity to individualize their training with tracks such as the research track and clinician educator track. We also strive to balance our training in psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, with one never being at the expense of the other.
