Department Overview

The Department of Psychiatry at OHSU is committed to providing excellent mental health services and resources to our community. As part of a teaching hospital, we have a unique opportunity to foster creativity, innovation, and train providers based on the latest research. We have made important contributions to the field of Psychiatry through our Residency Training, Fellowships, Research Programs, and Community engagement. Our faculty members and administrative leaders pioneered a much- needed improvement for mental healthcare access in Portland by the opening of Unity Center for Behavioral Health in January 2017. In partnership with Legacy Health, Kaiser Permanente, and Adventist Health, we successfully opened the region's first comprehensive mental health care center that provides both inpatient and emergency services. Our residents and fellows rotate through the VA, Unity Center, our adult outpatient clinics (both on and off the hill), child outpatient clinic, Oregon State Hospital, as well as other diverse community settings.
