Our Psychiatry Residency Program offers a fully accredited, four-year,
eclectic experience in community-based psychiatry. Education and training
emphasizes integrated approaches by providing extensive exposure to both
biological and psychodynamic models, as well as multispecialty-based
healthcare.

A hallmark of our program is that each resident can expect to have a close
working relationship with faculty. Extensive, one-on-one supervision is provided
each year. As importantly, education and training encompasses a broad range
of settings and clinical populations.

An unusual feature of our program is that residents are introduced to
psychotherapeutic interventions in their first year. Also, progressive clinical
experience is encouraged and directly supported by educational programs
and specialized clinical supervision.

Educational programs are given high priority. Regularly scheduled seminars and
case conferences are timed to augment clinical rotations. Scholarly activities
also address current practice issues through our year-round series of resident
conferences and faculty presentations. Special research opportunities are
available in the dementias, clinical psychopharmacology, and medical
education.

SIU School of Medicine also offers a five-year, combined Internal Medicine /
Psychiatry residency that leads to eligibility for Board certification in both
specialties.
