Psychiatry Residency Program

Psychiatry Residency Program

About the program

As a resident at EIRMC, you will be part of the largest graduate medical education (GME) network in the United States. HCA Healthcare, Inc. (HCA Healthcare) is currently home to GME programs in more than 50 hospitals from Florida to California.

We work closely with the residents from our IM and FM programs, to keep your training diverse and your comradery high.

We aren't part of a large academic center. Your lectures won't be obscure, based on a Principle Investigators pet project. Instead, you will be trained by practicing clinicians whose primary objective is patient care.

We work on competencies that a physician will face once he or she enters practice. We give continuous feedback to our residents and fellows so they will understand where they excel, as well as where they can improve.

Throughout your educational experience, there will be a focus on communication between the physician, the patient, and the treatment team. We also spend time talking about the business side of healthcare since that will impact every job you take or create in the future.

Since HCA Healthcare leads in all these areas, we are uniquely prepared to build you into the very best physician you can be.
