Behavioral Health and Psychiatry Residency Program at TriHealth
- TriHealth takes patients’ behavioral health as seriously as their physical health while focusing on the treatment of the whole patient. We offer the spectrum of behavioral health services from treatment in primary care practices to patients who require inpatient treatment.
- A $9 million, three-year bi3 investment supports TriHealth’s plans to expand the integration of behavioral health services into all pediatric and adult primary care locations, as well as introduce best-practice care models in other specialty areas, including obstetrics and oncology, throughout the system. This will ensure patients are receiving the necessary care for conditions ranging from anxiety to depression to suicidal thoughts.
- The expansion of TriHealth’s cutting-edge integrated behavioral health consultant model of care made it among the first health systems in the nation to provide pediatric and adult patients with this comprehensive approach.
- The TriHealth Hatton Research Institute supports Graduate Medical Education training programs’ research efforts.
- TriHealth’s fully sponsored, ACGME-accredited Psychiatry Residency Program will help address the local and regional shortage of psychiatrists, creating a strong pipeline of the next generation of physicians who are more connected to our region and more likely to practice at TriHealth and in Greater Cincinnati.
- The anticipated launch date for the Psychiatry Residency Program is expected to begin July 2027, and will accept a total of 24 residents.
- The Psychiatry Residency Program will support access to high quality TriHealth psychiatrists to serve patients across a spectrum of care.
