We strive to keep the information current and accessible, and welcome your comments. We are among the leading departments in the country in several areas such as depression, bipolar disorder, alcoholism and addictions. The residency training programs are also among the best in the nation. Graduating physicians from our medical school are about twice as likely to select careers in psychiatry as are those from the average US medical school. We are particularly committed to learning about the causes of severe mental illnesses and improving their treatment, both with new drugs and psychosocial therapies.
Research is the lifeblood of medicine.
We strive to educate the doctors of the future and conduct our research in the context of high quality, affordable clinical service. Living in a city with half the population Mexican American, we have a special interest in learning about factors that may be particularly important in the expression of mental illnesses among Mexican American and other Hispanic groups. Good searching and good luck.
