The Department of Psychiatry teaches M.D. students, principally during their third year, and trains resident physicians for academic and clinical careers in psychiatry. It offers no degree program.

Residency Programs

The department maintains a four-year training program approved by the Residency Review Committee of the American Medical Association. Training experiences are available at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and at the Veterans Affairs Iowa City Health Care System. Additional experiences are available at affiliated institutions: Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines, the Iowa Medical and Classification Center at Oakdale, the Mid-Eastern Iowa Community Mental Health Center in Iowa City, and the Independence Mental Health Institute (Iowa Department of Human Services).

The department also offers an approved two-year residency in child psychiatry. Fellowships in geriatrics and psychosomatic medicine are available after residency training.

Research

Department of Psychiatry staff members are involved in genetic and family studies of psychiatric disorders, and research in genetic and biological psychiatry, neurochemistry, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, neuropsychiatry, and psychosocial aspects of behavior.

Many research opportunities in psychiatry are available to students and residents, and the basic science areas of neurochemistry, neurophysiology, and electrophysiology offer additional opportunities. The clinical areas of psychology, child psychiatry, and psychotherapy also offer opportunities to a limited number of students for research and further study.
