KUMS / Departments / Psychiatry / Education

developed an approach to psychiatric education that considered clinical care and research to be part of a continuum. This model was designed to encourage medical students and residents to develop into critical, tough-minded thinkers who would become physicians with the skills and attitudes to understand data-driven advances in our field. Evidenced-based psychiatry developed from this integrated approach.Residents and medical students continue to be taught by senior academic staff with strong backgrounds in clinical care and research. Educating the next generation of leaders in clinical care and academic medicine remains a top priority.

Our residency program is rich in the variety of clinical rotations and electives offered, as well as both formal and informal didactic teaching. The opportunities for residents to become involved in research are great, both at the clinical and basic science levels. We are fortunate to have a academic staff with outstanding expertise in all aspects of psychiatry, including neurosciences and psychotherapies.

We hope you sense the enthusiasm we have for advancing the field of psychiatry through education, clinical care, and research.
