• Never practice alone. 23 faculty psychiatrists, experienced APPs, LCSWs, and a thriving residency program that actively buffers attending workload - one of Central Illinois' largest and most established Psychiatry departments.

• Keep your evenings. A light 1:6 resident-supported call schedule that has historically resulted in little to no after-hours call-ins - and only 2 holidays per year.

Plus one of Illinois' leading ECT programs, TMS, a developmental disability clinic, geriatrics, and correctional telehealth - all under one department.
