Curriculum & Education

Overview

At Griffin Memorial Hospital, psychiatry residents learn to treat both common and rare forms of mental illness. Many patients with difficult illnesses are referred to us for care, and we are one of the few facilities that can treat people for an extended time if needed. We provide an early child/adolescent experience in form of inpatient child rotations in the first and second years of residency. The outpatient child rotation is with Child and Family Services, which provides family and child counseling in many modalities combined with psychiatric medical care. The inpatient rotation is at the Children’s Recovery Center, in Norman Oklahoma, an adolescent facility focused on treatment of dual diagnosis and trauma recovery. Our outpatient treatment center is the Central Oklahoma Mental Health Center in Norman.
