shrinkiatry context

The USF psychiatry residency at Tampa General Behavioral Health Hospital is the second general psychiatry program run by the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, distinct from its long-standing residency. USF positions the program as a way to strengthen the region's behavioral health workforce while expanding access to care across Tampa Bay. Because it's centered on a freestanding, academically affiliated behavioral health hospital, residents train in a setting built specifically around psychiatric care rather than a general hospital's psychiatric service. As a program in its first years, much of its structure is still taking shape. It's in Tampa.
