shrinkiatry context

The Lakeland Regional Health psychiatry residency frames itself around training future leaders in psychiatry, with a research division, community mental health work, and early exposure to neuromodulation like TMS and ECT. Residents rotate through inpatient, emergency, consultation-liaison, addiction, geriatric, forensic, child and adolescent, and community psychiatry, including collaborative-care work in a family medicine clinic, before mostly outpatient upper years. It's in Lakeland, in Central Florida.
