Director, Adult Outpatient Services

The Division of Adult Outpatient Psychiatry is part of the
Department of Psychiatry within the Southern Illinois
University School of Medicine. The division is responsible
for providing psychiatric care over a broad range of general
psychiatric issues. Specialty clinics include geriatric psychiatry,
special needs / developmental disabilities, and in concert
with the Division of Medicine-Psychiatry in the Department
of Internal Medicine, a new Refractory Depression Clinic. 
Our mission within the medical school is to provide psychiatric education to
medical students and residents. Medical students participate in clinical activities
during their third-year clerkship, as well as electives in their fourth year. 
Psychiatry residents and residents in the joint internal medicine-psychiatry
program begin their outpatient clinical experiences in their second year. As
the one of the fundamental purposes of the medical school is the advancement
of knowledge through research, the division is also involved in several research
projects.
