In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine hosted a faculty and staff Q&A panel addressing key topics across the mental health spectrum, including caregiver support, child and adolescent care, and complex psychiatric conditions. 
 
These discussions demonstrate the collaborative, community-focused approach to training our residents will experience come July.
 
Join a program where these conversations shape your training and your future in psychiatry!

Nurses Week may be ending, but the appreciation is forever! 
 
Our University Medical Center nurses got a little extra “therapy” this week thanks to our friends from Hand in Paw—and safe to say, tails were wagging and smiles were everywhere! 🐾 
 
Thank you for all you do, every single day!

We’re excited to launch our inpatient psychiatry teaching service at North Harbor, the 54‑bed psychiatric unit at DCH Northport. With Dr. Reeves, program director, and Dr. Burns, associate program director, serving as the inpatient attendings, our residents will train in a setting that plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families experiencing mental health crises across western Alabama.

Hear from our Program Director, Dr. Jamie Reeves, on why supporting psychiatry training matters, especially here in Alabama.

“We’re very excited to be training the next generation of Alabama psychiatrists. Alabama is ranked 42nd in the United States for psychiatrists per population, so there is certainly a demand that is not being met. We know our residents and graduates will provide excellent clinical care to those in need across the state for decades to come with attention to rural areas where the shortage is much worse. Thank you for helping us plant the seeds for the next generation of psychiatrists and expand access to care across our state!”
