Reported by the program

The program describes the following on its official website, reviewed on July 27, 2026.

Setting
The program is a military psychiatry residency sponsored by Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, the Army medical center at Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), Texas, within the Defense Health Agency's graduate-medical-education system.
How it works
As a military program, it trains active-duty Army and other service physicians and fills through the military graduate-medical-education selection process rather than the civilian match, so detailed program information is distributed through military GME channels rather than a public recruiting page. We therefore report only the structural facts its official pages and the AMA's FREIDA database confirm, and don't list an individual program director.

shrinkiatry context

Darnall's program is one of the Army's psychiatry residencies, training uniformed physicians to care for soldiers and military families, with heavy exposure to trauma, deployment-related conditions, and military behavioral health that civilian programs rarely match. It's at Fort Cavazos, near Killeen, still listed by many directories under its former name, Fort Hood.
