Hear from our Program Director, Dr. Jamie Reeves, on why supporting psychiatry training matters, especially here in Alabama.

“We’re very excited to be training the next generation of Alabama psychiatrists. Alabama is ranked 42nd in the United States for psychiatrists per population, so there is certainly a demand that is not being met. We know our residents and graduates will provide excellent clinical care to those in need across the state for decades to come with attention to rural areas where the shortage is much worse. Thank you for helping us plant the seeds for the next generation of psychiatrists and expand access to care across our state!”
