The UVM Department of Psychiatry has four major areas of research interest: Neuroscience, Substance Abuse, Child Wellness and Psychopathology, and Public Psychiatry.

Most research efforts focus directly on improving patient care. In 2005, our department ranked 32^nd nationally among academic psychiatry departments in NIH research funding. Our faculty are highly committed to sharing their research interests with residents, who often choose a research selective in the second through fourth years of training.
