Thank you for your interest in our Community Mental Health (CMH) Concentration! This is the first year that this is considered a full concentration. The CMH Concentration will allow residents the opportunity to rotate through elective sites that focus on serving patients who are unfunded, underfunded, underserved and/or have severe and persistent mental illness. We currently have residents piloting rotation sites for the track and are working on bringing several other locations on board. We also have a monthly lecture series track residents are encouraged to help plan.
Goals of the Concentration:
- Provide diverse educational experiences through lectures and networking with individuals who currently work in the public sector
- Provide diverse clinical experiences within the community and SPMI population
- Potential research/scholarly project ideas
- Prepare the resident to be able to move on to a public psychiatry fellowship or work in public psychiatry upon graduation
Current Rotations and Rotations in Development:
- Volunteers of America Assertive Community Treatment Team
- Impact Health (clinic serving exclusively unfunded patients)
- Idaho State Hospital
- Davis County Outpatient Clinic
- Resident Continuity Clinic at Summit County Outpatient Clinic
- Utah Navajo Health System Telepsychiatry
Lecture Series Examples:
