shrinkiatry context

College Medical Center runs a community-hospital psychiatry residency in Long Beach, in Los Angeles County, built around inpatient and community behavioral-health training. It sits under a hospital with a heavy psychiatric and behavioral-health caseload, so residents get strong exposure to acute psychiatric care. The training emphasizes producing compassionate clinicians for a dense, diverse Southern California population that relies heavily on the region's safety-net services.
