We are delighted to offer a solid, four-year categorical ACGME-accredited program with a variety of clinical and academic opportunities. The curriculum is designed to develop and prepare clinicians to become effective, safe psychiatrists.
We offer hospital-based training led by dedicated medical professionals and interdisciplinary teams. Residents will have the opportunity for training through protected scholarly activities, dynamic clinical rotations, teaching assignments and research involvement.
The hospital environment is resident-friendly and very collegial. Our secondary clinical sites, Recovery First and HCA Florida Hospital, have also great experience in medical teaching and community service.
The clinical rotations aim to emphasize evidence-based medical practice, as well as integrating up-to-date medical knowledge in psychopharmacology, neurobiology and psychotherapy. Our teams strive to work within collaborative models of care and empathetic cultural sensitivity.
Our goal is truly to promote cohesive and outstanding medical education in the field of psychiatry. We are committed to supporting our residents' career paths and leadership skills.
We value applicants in good academic standing with a genuine interest in the field of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Thank you again for visiting our site.
