shrinkiatry context

The Citrus Health Network psychiatry residency, run in partnership with Florida International University, trains residents in a community-based, safety-net setting rather than a traditional academic medical center. Because it's built inside a Federally Qualified Health Center, residents see a broad range of conditions across the lifespan and across a diverse, largely bilingual patient population. The curriculum moves from inpatient, crisis, and primary-care rotations in the early years toward a full year of longitudinal outpatient care and electives later on. It's in Hialeah, in the Miami metropolitan area.
