Mission statement:
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences seeks to promote outstanding, comprehensive care to the patients of our affiliated hospitals and clinics and to implement the finest
educational programs for mental health trainees of all disciplines. We also strive to instruct general physicians about the prevalence, seriousness, and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Our
department pursues excellence in basic, clinical, translational research initiatives in areas related to mental illness. We endeavor to communicate about all the above to our community in ways that
reduce the stigma of mental illness for our patients and their families.
