After completing medical school, a psychiatrist must also complete a one year internship and three additional years of specialized training as a psychiatric resident.

A psychiatrist evaluates patients with mental illness and, in cases where medication is subscribed, often practices medication management.

Facility Location

The city was ranked in Money Magazine's "Top 25 Places to Live" in 2011 in large part due to its proximity to the big city. With any bedroom community, transportation is a critical consideration.
