A Welcome from the Program Director:
The recent presence of the Arnot Health Psychiatry Residency program has been embraced by many in the mental health community. New relationships are evolving in the spirit of cooperation and mutual support. The Elmira Psychiatric Center, Chemung County Family Services, Nutrition Clinic (Eating Disorder Program) and Wilkes-Barre VA ,to name a few, are incorporating the Residency Program in their organizations. The Psychiatry Residency program at Arnot Ogden Medical Center within its campus offers a behavioral science unit, an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility, an outpatient psychiatry office, and the beginnings of an integrated care model with primary care and affiliated clinics, HIV and Suboxone clinics.
Our “founding” residents have played an integral role in establishing a positive and respected reputation for the program within the Arnot Health System and the community at large. We commend them for their efforts as well as their patience with the growing pains that accompany a new program.
It is a daunting task to begin a residency as it changes you on many levels in your life, both personally and professionally. You are stepping into a new set of responsibilities and a new role as a representative of the Psychiatry Residency Program and as a member of the Psychiatric Community.
We look forward to new candidates learning and growing with us and becoming part of our community.
Michele Pavillard, DO, Program Director
