About Our Program:

A four-year program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our goal is to train general psychiatrists by means of strong clinical experience and a systematic exposure to relevant knowledge from biological, psychological, and social sciences. Special effort has been devoted to achieving a well-balanced program integrating theoretical learning and clinical experiences. As a university-based program in a large public/private hospital system, UTMB provides a solid core of knowledge and a scientific framework, as well as the number and variety of patients for a full range of clinical experiences. A standing Curriculum Committee, on which residents sit as full members, introduces revisions and changes to improve education and training. Each resident can be assured that by the end of the program, all of the experiences for Board Certification will have been provided.
