shrinkiatry context

The Larkin Community Hospital psychiatry residency sits within one of South Florida's larger community-based graduate medical education systems, which sponsors more than twenty ACGME-accredited programs across its South Miami and Palm Springs campuses. For psychiatry residents, that means training in a general teaching hospital alongside a dedicated behavioral health facility, with exposure to inpatient units, consultation work, and outpatient clinics. The program frames its mission around preparing board-eligible psychiatrists for the community's growing demand for mental health care. It's in South Miami, in Miami-Dade County.
