The program provides comprehensive medical education with a rigorous focus in the public health sector, including clinical care, scholarly activities and advocacy that is informed by the values of social justice and health equity. From home visits to geriatric patients, to evaluating patients in the county’s designated psychiatric emergency room, to participating in many of the BHRS strategic initiatives for mental health, our psychiatry residents are part of the constructive solutions to the critical problems facing today’s mental health care system.

In addition to our residency program’s commitment to public psychiatry and rotations at the San Mateo County BHRS health system, we also provide clinical rotations in other health care settings to give our residents a wide range of psychiatric training experiences. We have several rotations within the Kaiser Permanente health system, including addiction psychiatry, child psychiatry, and neurology. We also have established rotations within the Stanford University Hospital and Clinics including child psychiatry and neurology. These rotations give our residents significant exposure to the structures of care within the HMO setting and as well as at a major academic center.
