SHREC Psychiatry RESIDENCY

The SHREC Psychiatry Residency Program is a four-year training program developed through the Sam Houston Regional Education Consortium (SHREC) in partnership with Tri-County Behavioral Healthcare and Huntsville Memorial Hospital (HMH). The program will welcome its inaugural class of four residents in July 2026 and is based in Conroe, Texas.

Designed to address the growing demand for psychiatrists across Texas, this program offers immersive, community-based training grounded in academic rigor and real-world patient care. Residents gain experience across outpatient, community behavioral health, and hospital-based settings while caring for patients across the full spectrum of psychiatric needs.

As a SHREC-sponsored program housed within the Â鶹´«Ã½AV College of Osteopathic Medicine, the residency is supported through educational oversight, curriculum development, faculty training, and academic resources.

WHY CHOOSE THIS PROGRAM?
