FSU, TMH, Apalachee Center to launch psychiatry residency program
Florida State University’s College of Medicine recently announced plans to launch a new psychiatry residency program — an addition that will bring psychiatric training into the Tallahassee area.
In partnership with Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) and the Apalachee Center, the initiative would help address the crucial need for training mental health care providers in the region and across Florida.
FSU’s announcement about the future program comes after the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) granted the university and its partners initial accreditation to move forward with the plan.
With the addition of the psychiatry residency program, FSU's College of Medicine will offer students a total of nine residency programs and three fellowships.
In the meantime, the Florida Senate recently advanced a bill that would designate behavioral health teaching hospitals across the state. Through a $114 million plan to address a state shortage of mental health professionals, four pilot facilities would link to medical schools in Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Gainesville.
The efforts of FSU and its partners toward establishing Tallahassee as a leading medical research and health care center also include plans to build an academic health center on TMH's campus through the FSU Health initiative. The center's construction process is expected to take a couple of years.
In addition, the university’s College of Medicine has plans to add a family medicine residency program in Immokalee, Florida, where a psychiatry postdoctoral fellowship already exists.

In addition to the FSU College of Medicine starting up its PA program, I think it is important to point out that the FSU COM continues to expand its partnership with TMH through the establishment of residency programs.
FSU and TMH now have a Surgical Residency Program (2013-14), Internal Medicine Residency Program (2012) and a Family Medicine Residency Program (earlier).
