The Residency Program in Psychiatry is administered by the Department of Psychiatry, University of Calgary. The Department has special expertise in the major syndromes of adult psychiatry, child psychiatry, substance abuse (addictions), forensic psychiatry, family therapy and community psychiatry. Fellowships are offered in child psychiatry, forensic psychiatry and early psychosis dependent on available funding.
Education is the prime function of the department. Faculty are involved in the teaching of our own psychiatric residents, undergraduates, family practice residents, interns, psychology interns and graduate students. This mixture of students provides a stimulating environment for residents, students and faculty. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
