shrinkiatry context

The BayCare Morton Plant North Bay psychiatry residency is a separate BayCare program from the one at St. Joseph's, based at a recovery center with dedicated adult and pediatric psychiatric units. Its residents train across inpatient, child, emergency, addiction, and consultation settings, then a heavily outpatient PGY-3 that adds community, geriatric, and forensic psychiatry, before an elective-rich final year. It's in Lutz, in the Tampa metro area.
