Residents receive a firm grounding in neurobiologic, psychodynamic, and sociocultural principles.
All clinical and seminar work stems from these three roots as a framework for understanding patients' illnesses. Our goal is to attract a diverse group of residents who will ultimately practice psychiatry in a wide variety of settings and modalities. Since residents learn best from clinical experiences with their own patients, the program emphasizes direct clinical responsi-bility for patients in a variety of settings. Residents are supervised closely by a variety of expert supervisors in every aspect of psychiatry. The residency program at UT Southwestern also stimulates residents to maximize their professional development.
