shrinkiatry context

JPS is a county safety-net psychiatry residency in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex with an unusually forensic and emergency-heavy flavor, including hands-on courtroom testimony in commitment hearings, which few programs offer. Its high patient volume and close supervision give residents broad, practical training. It's in Fort Worth.
