Special Features

UTMB offers a training program that is focused on training competent and caring physicians in an environment that is supportive of our trainees. Residents work with a diverse patient population with close faculty supervision. The program has the flexibility to allow individual learning opportunities while emphasizing teamwork and collaboration. We have an early entry combined program for those that know that want to do Child Psychiatry, and you can apply to both programs through ERAS.
