shrinkiatry context

This Sam Houston program is a brand-new, community-centered psychiatry residency built to grow the behavioral-health workforce north of Houston, sponsored by an osteopathic medical school and anchored in a public community mental-health system. With its first class arriving in 2026, it has no track record yet. It's in Conroe.
