The ETSU combined
Medicine/Psychiatry program will not be offering any
positions for the 2012 Match or for the July 2012
start date. Therefore, the Med/Psych combined program
will not be scheduling any interviews or accepting
applications before July of 2012. The Psychiatry
residency program and Internal Medicine residency
program will continue to accept applications for
their respective individual programs, but no new
combined med psych program candidates will be
considered for the July 2012 start date.

It is increasingly more difficult to
separate the science of the mind from the science of the
body. Medical illnesses interwoven with psychiatric
disorders require unique approaches. From the patient with
chronic renal failure, dependent on dialysis and suffering
from depression to the chronic schizophrenic patient with
uncontrolled diabetes, the halls of medicine echo with the
need for a specialty of collaboration.

The East Tennessee State University Combined Internal
Medicine/Psychiatry residency provides a tailored,
credentialed training experience allowing individuals the
opportunity to develop skills in both disciplines. With
the support of the dean of the James H. Quillen School of
Medicine, a partnership between the internal medicine and
psychiatry departments was forged in 2001. Our residency
program provides interested residents with the
opportunity to develop the clinical skills to tackle
complex medical issues.

With the inception of the Internal Medicine/Psychiatry
program, our philosophy has been to train residents so
that both disciplines can be integrated
successfully.
Our vision includes serving the region of
East Tennessee and surrounding areas with comprehensive,
individualized health care as we forge new territory in the
advances of medical treatment.

The Quillen College of Medicine is located in the
foothills (elevation ~1500') of the Appalachian
Mountains in Johnson City, Tennessee (pop. ~55,000,
Tri-Cities Region ~400,000). The area enjoys four full
seasons, replete with early spring, temperate summers,
amazing fall colors and winters with significant
snowfall. The campus of ETSU is within 10 miles of
excellent trout fishing, canoeing, hiking, camping,
swimming and a full range of outdoors activities. The
area offers a rich mixture of Appalachian Culture
(storytelling, pottery, writing, song, crafts) and
contemporary American Culture (museums, symphony,
ballet, auto-racing, college sports, and numerous fine
dining and shopping establishments).
