Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry. This department sponsors two separate residency pograms, each with distinct goals and missions: The University of Arizona program has a more academic focus, while The University of Arizona/UPH program is oriented to serving a public mental health population.

The University of Arizona (UA) is a student-centered university with over 38,000 students. UA is one of the top ranked research universities in the nation. The UA, with Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health, operates the state's only academic health sciences center at the Arizona Health Sciences Center (AHSC). While providing knowledge and skills basic to the practice of medicine, the College of Medicine inculcates students with fundamental attitudes of compassionate patient care and a spirit and desire for lifelong independent learning and scholarship.

The Department of Psychiatry incorporates the mission and values of the University of Arizona, the College of Medicine at the Arizona Health Sciences Center, University Medical Center, University Physicians Healthcare Hospital, and University Physician's Healthcare, Inc.

Our Mission:
The Department of Psychiatry will lead the effort to understand, diagnose, treat, and prevent psychiatric disorders, prepare future clinicians, provide state-of-the-art care, and give direction to community efforts to improve behavioral health. 

Our Vision:
The Department of Psychiatry will excel in enhancing behavioral health through scientific research, education, training, community leadership, and service.
