shrinkiatry context

The HCA Florida JFK North Hospital psychiatry residency trains in one of the higher-volume behavioral health settings in Palm Beach County, so residents see a wide spectrum of acuity from psychiatric emergencies to longitudinal outpatient care. The program pairs that clinical volume with an academic affiliation to Nova Southeastern University and an emphasis on early responsibility with close faculty supervision. Exposure to child and adolescent psychiatry begins in the intern year. It's in West Palm Beach.
