The Department of Psychiatry offers a full range of diagnostic and treatment services. For adult and geriatric patients, there are inpatient, outpatient, emergency and consultation-liaison services available. Many patients of all ages receive psychiatric treatment as volunteers in various ongoing research projects.
Patient evaluations occur at all levels.
Professional care is provided by a highly qualified psychiatric faculty and also by faculty-supervised psychiatric residents. In addition to individual treatment, there are group and family counseling services available. For those with limited resources, a sliding-scale fee schedule may apply. Approximately 150 professionals comprise the psychiatry department's full-time and clinical faculty. Six physicians in the department have been listed in the national edition of Best Doctors in America with 17 physicians listed in the publication's midwest edition.
