Academic Programs

There is a dire shortage of psychiatrists in Arizona, and, in fact, the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Arizona College of Medicine provides the only accredited training programs for adult, child & adolescent psychiatry in Southern Arizona.

The department sponsors two separate residency programs, each with distinct goals and missions: The University of Arizona program has a more academic focus, while The University of Arizona/UPHK program is oriented to serving a public mental health population.

For those who wish to specialize in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, we offer an accredited fellowship program.

In addition to training for medical doctors, we provide a predoctoral clinical psychology internship program.

We invite you to browse this section and become familiar with our academic offerings.
