The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine and newly established clinical entity, UTHealth Rio Grande Valley are growing and is starting residency programs in Psychiatry and Child/ Adolescent psychiatry. The residency training programs will emphasize outpatient longitudinal experiences, psychotherapy, integrated experiences with primary care, multidisciplinary teaching, multiple community sites and a cohesive, integrated approach to learning, understanding and utilizing the science of medicine for effective psychiatric practice. Experiential activities will be supported by an interconnected didactic and clinical curriculum that emphasizes self-initiated learning, problem solving skills, and appropriate use of technology.

Faculty joining these residency programs will have the opportunity to develop and start educational, clinical and research programs within a system that prioritizes working within the community, incorporating prevention and early intervention into care, and collaboration within and outside of medicine.
