General Psychiatry Residency Program

 

About Our Program

Our program is committed to offering our residents outstanding training tailored to help them achieve their individual career goals.

We are an academic, resident-centered, adult psychiatry training program located in Salt Lake City– a metropolitan area of about 1.2 million people with unparalleled access to nature. Our operations are based at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI), a renowned psychiatric hospital affiliated with the research-rich University of Utah.

As the only residency program providing psychiatric care to a significant section of the Mountain West region, we have the privilege of working in private, public, VA, rural and urban community systems, and serve as the tertiary care center for much of Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and eastern Nevada.
