Reported by the program

The program describes the following on its official website, reviewed on July 27, 2026.

Program director
Joseph C. Vlaskovits, MD, per the program's official faculty page.
Setting
The program is an ACGME-accredited, community-based psychiatry residency sponsored by the Community Memorial Health System in Ventura, a not-for-profit community hospital system serving Ventura County.
How to apply
Applications run through ERAS, and the program takes part in the NRMP Main Residency Match under its own National Resident Matching Program code. Community Memorial lists psychiatry among the residencies run through its graduate medical education office, so applicants should confirm current requirements, rotations, and interview timing on the official program page before they apply.

shrinkiatry context

Community Memorial runs a newer community-hospital psychiatry residency serving Ventura County, giving residents a community-based training base along California's Central Coast outside the large academic centers. It's in Ventura, and as a not-for-profit community system it anchors training in general-hospital and outpatient settings rather than a university medical center. That gives residents broad exposure to community psychiatry across a county that sits between the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara markets.
