Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences


The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Meharry is committed to very high standards of training, research, and clinical services.

While the clinical services are aimed at the total population the faculty and staff recognize and respond to the special needs of the disadvantaged and minority populations.

Our research activities are gaining momentum and a central point of these is the elimination of mental health disparities.

In addition, the department provides training and clinical experiences for mental health workers other than psychiatrists in order to gain licensure or obtain advanced degrees.
