The Department of Psychiatry teaches MD students, principally during their third year, and trains resident physicians for academic and clinical careers in psychiatry.

Research

Department of Psychiatry staff members are involved in genetic and family studies of psychiatric disorders and research in genetic and biological psychiatry, neurochemistry, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, neuropsychiatry, psychosocial aspects of behavior, and neuroinvasive brain stimulation.

The department's students and residents have many research opportunities in psychiatry and in the basic science areas of neurochemistry, neurophysiology, and electrophysiology. The clinical areas of psychology, child psychiatry, and psychotherapy also offer opportunities for research and further study to a limited number of students.
