Psychiatry is a unique branch of medicine.
It allows physicians to combine evidence-based science with the
skill of human interaction and that artistic touch innate to
the individual practitioner. Our program is designed to teach
board-relevant topics in current psychiatric practice while
encouraging individual expression in its delivery.
The East Tennessee State University Department of Psychiatry
provides residents a tailored, fully credentialed training
experience allowing individuals the opportunity to develop
skills in adult psychiatry while allowing for development in
other areas such as child/adolescent, geriatrics, women's
issues, forensics and research. The residents of our
program enjoy training under a diverse group of faculty from a
variety of backgrounds. They enjoy a collegial atmosphere
intended to promote the advancement of residents to attending
level psychiatrists.
With the support of Dr. Louis Cancellaro
(MD, PhD; Interim Chair, Professor Emeritus) the ETSU
Department of Psychiatry was created in 1978. The original
resident class size of one, in December 1985, eventually
expanded to 5 and we now enjoy a total complement of
approximately 20 psychiatry and 10 med/psych residents.
Our residency program will provide interested residents with
the opportunity to develop the clinical skills to tackle
complex issues in the field of psychiatry.
Drs. Hal Elliott and Jill McCarley have fostered a philosophy of
success through resident involvement, and work to promote the
development of residents into successful practitioners of
psychiatry. Our vision includes serving the region of East
Tennessee and surrounding areas with comprehensive,
individualized mental health care as we forge new territory in
the advances of psychiatric treatment.
