General Psychiatry Residency Program

PGY1 Residents
PGY1 Residents with Dr. Brenner on Tour of Training Sites

We train psychiatrists who are expert in the brain, the mind, and social systems and highly capable at working in teams and care systems, who meet each patient with dignity and the desire to listen, and who feel supported by our training community and in turn support each other. Our residents graduate at the cutting edge of all aspects of psychiatry, trained by outstanding, evidence-oriented clinicians to provide excellent clinical care to patients. In our innovative, exciting didactic and clinical/experiential base for training, faculty and residents work together, balancing clinical service and education. Our patients are diverse in every way: ethnoculturally, socioeconomically, and by clinical service (private, public sector, community, etc.). This variety ensures our residents are able to practice psychiatry anywhere with anyone.

Headshot of Donald Egan

“UT Southwestern attracted me because of the breadth of its clinical sites, the diversity of patient populations treated, and its strong research and community mental health components. Many programs have these (or, at least, claim that they do), but what makes UTSW stand out is the support and innovative spirit within the program shared by faculty, administration, and residents...Residency is a short period in the entirety of my career as a physician, so I want to learn and experience as much as I can. I knew from my interview day and research that residents work at large academic settings (Clements), large community hospitals (Parkland), the VA, Terrel State Hospital, and many clinics. Some of the sickest and most complicated patients in the region are treated by the residents, giving them unique learning opportunities unavailable to residents at many other programs.”
