Child and Adult Psychiatry Combined Track
Our combined training track allows matching at the same time into both General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. General Psychiatry training is typically 4 years but shortened to 3 years for residents moving into the 2-year Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship, for a total of 5 years in training.
Through fast tracking, applicants who are certain their future will include child and adolescent psychiatry do not need to go through another cycle of applications and interviews for fellowship training. Track residents can have a more integrated and longitudinal approach to both general and child/adolescent outpatient experiences.
Graduates from our combined training track are qualified to treat children, adolescents, and the full range of adult patients. They are our most flexible physicians to address psychiatry's workforce needs.

Additional Information
We must receive the completed application before we will interview (we conduct virtual interviews).
Residents must be eligible to rotate at each of our clinical training sites. Most sites require proof of COVID-19 vaccination, and some sites do not allow exemptions to this requirement.
Please note that as part of the application and interview process for a potential residency position in our program, we are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and you would need to meet ACGME requirements for matriculation in our program.
Upon graduation from our residency training program, most of our graduates seek board certification from either the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology or the American Osteopathic Board of Neurology and Psychiatry. The process of board certification is separate from residency training and has additional requirements. Some board organizations require completion of all your education in an ACGME-accredited residency. Please contact the appropriate certifying board to understand your eligibility for board certification before accepting (if offered) a residency position at our institution

“The thing I really love about Dallas is that it's such a huge city for all the different things that you would like to do. I really enjoy going to multiple concerts. All the major artists come through here. I'm a huge soccer fan, and so I have been really excited that the World Cup is going to be coming to Dallas. One of the things that it's very hard to know about a program is their culture. I have felt so loved and supported here, not just by my peers but also the program leadership. You have the opportunity to lean on everyone, feel supported, and really grow as a person and also as a resident.”
