Mission statement:
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences seeks to
promote outstanding, comprehensive care to the patients of our
affiliated hospitals and clinics and to implement the finest
educational programs for mental health trainees of all disciplines.
We also strive to instruct general physicians about the
prevalence, seriousness, and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
Our department pursues excellence in basic, clinical,
translational research initiatives in areas related to mental illness.
We endeavor to communicate about all the above to our
community in ways that reduce the stigma of mental illness
for our patients and their families.
