Overview: The psychiatry residency program is four years in length. Intern year is comprised of a mix of both psychiatry and general medicine rotations. Second year is focused largely on inpatient and consult-liaison psychiatry at both military and VA facilities. Third year is dedicated solely to outpatient psychiatry, while in their fourth year residents serve in a variety of clinical supervisory and leadership positions and participate in forensic and military-specific psychiatric training as well.

In addition to daily bedside learning, formal education involves a combination of supervised patient encounters, daily program-wide morning lectures, and weekly collections of small-group seminars tailored to each residency class.

Each class averages eight residents in size and is comprised entirely of commissioned military officers.
