General Psychiatry ResidencyGlobal mental health track
Residents in the Global Mental Health track focus their elective educational experiences on local and global mental health initiatives. There are opportunities for residents to work with our local and international partners or form partnerships of their own. Sacramento is a highly diverse community with many immigrant and refugee populations with which residents in the track may choose to work. We also have relationships with programs in a number of countries around the world.
