OBJECTIVE
The
goal of creating a combined Family Medicine and
Psychiatry Residency Training Program at UPMC is to
utilize the excellent resources of both the Department
of Family and Community Medicine and the Department of
Psychiatry at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic
of the University of Pittsburgh to train physicians in
both specialties who will be poised to provide
comprehensive medical and psychiatric services to a
broad spectrum of patients in the community and to be
leaders in academic family medicine and psychiatry.
There are currently only ten such combined programs in
the country and none are in Pennsylvania. There is also
currently a need in Pittsburgh to provide integrated
health care services to a vulnerable population whose
needs were formerly covered by another institution in
the area that has closed. We will combine the
tremendous resources of two highly regarded residency
training programs within the same medical system in
Pittsburgh to produce broadly-based trainees who will be
uniquely qualified to combine medical and psychiatric
treatment to populations who require comprehensive
health care services.

GENERAL
REQUIREMENTS
The
combined residency will take 2 residents per year for a
5-year training program for a total of 10 residents at a
given time. Residents will be accepted into the
training programs of both Family Medicine and Psychiatry
concurrently and independently. Residents will meet the
training requirements for both the Family Practice and
Psychiatry Residencies in five years. There will also
be longitudinal outpatient experiences, clinical
rotations and didactics unique to the combined program,
which integrate medical, and psychiatric care and which
will be required for all combined residents.
There
will be two residency training co-directors, one each
from the Departments of Family Medicine and Psychiatry,
who will work together to assure that requirements for
both programs are adequately met and who will coordinate
the educational experience and clinical rotations.
The
affiliated hospitals include Western Psychiatric
Institute and Clinic, UPMC McKeesport, and UPMC St.
Margaret’s.
