Setting
The program is sponsored by Kaweah Health, the Kaweah Delta Health Care District's public district hospital system in Visalia, and trains residents to serve the largely rural, agricultural, and underserved population of California's Central Valley.
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. Kaweah Health lists the psychiatry residency among the ACGME-accredited programs run by its graduate medical education office, so applicants should confirm current requirements, tracks, and interview timing on the official program page before they apply.

shrinkiatry context

Kaweah Health runs a community-district-hospital psychiatry residency built to grow the mental-health workforce in the underserved Central Valley, where psychiatrist shortages are severe. It's in Visalia, in Tulare County, and it gives residents a public-hospital base that leans heavily on the region's agricultural and rural communities. Tulare County sits inside one of California's most medically underserved regions, so the training carries a strong public-service and access-to-care emphasis.
