The Department of Psychiatry at Indiana University School of Medicine offers four accredited residency programs for individuals who have completed undergraduate medical education: categorical psychiatry residency programs based in Indianapolis, Vincennes and Merrillville, and a Triple Board Residency for those interested in training in pediatrics, psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry in one program.

By introducing the basics in diagnosis and pharmacological treatments in the first year of training followed by the subspecialties of psychiatry in the second year, residents have the opportunity to apply their techniques to patient care. The latter half of the program integrates medical and scientific literature with outstanding interview techniques and excellent therapeutic skills. The last year of the program allows residents to follow their own tracks and interests.
