General Psychiatry Training Program

What our residents have to say...

"I moved to Kansas City from Omaha, Nebraska and have found a great midwestern culture which is truly diverse and very welcoming. KUMC’s psychiatry program is no different. There is a very diverse inpatient population and the program is academically challenging. I have come to appreciate the training which the program offers by rotating us through different sites including three different VA hospitals and the University hospital, all providing crucial exposure to patient management and various aspects of healthcare in the US today. My family moved here and have been pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the people and great job opportunities in various fields and one of the best education systems in the nation for the children. My opinion and experience so far is that it’s a prestigious university program in a great place to raise a family. And yes, the food and shopping are also good!" Farah S.

"I was born in California but spent most of my formative years in Nebraska.  I majored in Biology at the University of Nebraska (go Huskers!) before attending Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.  During my third year KCUMB I had the opportunity to do rotations at KU, and I was immediately impressed with the psychiatry program.  The attending physicians were approachable and excited to teach, and the residents appeared to be genuinely happy.  As a third year resident I could not be more pleased with my choice to learn and treat at a premiere teaching institution.  Wherever my career takes me as a psychiatrist I know I will be prepared thanks to my training at the University of Kansas Hospital."
