Psychiatry
The Department of Psychiatry is a unique place to be at a time when psychiatry as a specialty has increasingly more and more to offer individuals suffering from psychiatric disorders.
The department is the only psychiatry department in the nation shared between an allopathic and an osteopathic medical school. It's one of only three psychiatry departments nationwide to be accredited for residency education by both the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Osteopathic Association.
The department is among the 20 percent of departments across the United States with a community-based residency program and is nationally recognized for the numbers of residency graduates who work in public sector psychiatry after graduation.

There is a severe shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists in the United States . By some estimates the nation has only a fifth of what the child/adolescent patient-base demands. In areas of Michigan , the problem may even be more acute. There has been a longstanding shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists in Michigan.
Michigan State University 's Department of Psychiatry is developing a child and adolescent psychiatry residency in cooperation with the local community mental health center, the DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids , the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan , along with several other partners. This will be only the third such residency in the state.
The College has a proven track record of being able to retain a greater-than-average percentage of physicians in-state, post-graduation. This child and adolescent five-year residency program will provide training for two psychiatrists per year, in a community setting, with the goal of building Michigan 's child and adolescent psychiatry resources long-term.
