Psychiatry Residency

Our program combines the breadth of a busy community health system with the depth of an academic medical center. Serving more than a million Virginians, we partner with Carilion Clinic, the Salem VA Medical Center, Catawba Hospital, and the Bradley Free Clinic to offer diverse clinical exposure and training across the full spectrum of psychiatry.

You’ll learn from dedicated faculty with wide-ranging expertise — clinicians who are not only specialists in their fields but also committed educators and mentors. We value residents as learners first, creating an environment that is supportive, flexible, and responsive to individual goals. Robust mentorship, feedback opportunities, and tailored educational paths are central to how we train.

We seek residents who are eager to grow not only as psychiatrists, but as physicians — individuals who recognize that medicine is both a science and a calling. If you are drawn to rigorous training within a community that values reflection, purpose, and service, we invite you to explore what makes our program distinctive.
