Massachusetts General Hospital The Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Service, headed by Jerrold Rosenbaum, M.D., is one of the departments of psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School. The MGH is one of the nation’s oldest and most renowned teaching hospitals. It is an internationally recognized primary as well as tertiary-care facility. Incorporated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1811, its initial charter clearly states its tripartite goals of patient care, physician training and research into the causes of illness. MGH is a major teaching facility of the Harvard Medical School and its residents, fellows and staff may partake in elective learning opportunities at a variety of Harvard professional and graduate schools (School of Public Health, Law School, Business School, etc.). The MGH Psychiatry Service is an active partnership between the academic teaching hospital and the public sector community mental health system. The Service has 482 faculty composed of 286 psychiatrists, 180 psychologists, and 16 representatives of epidemiology, psychobiology, public administration, biostatistics, sociology, and neurochemistry. This staff includes 131 full-time psychiatrists and psychologists. The large (335) part-time staff is composed primarily of psychiatrists and psychologists from a variety of clinical and academic settings throughout the Boston metropolitan area. The Service maintains a pluralistic orientation, with practitioners and academicians of various theoretical persuasions and clinical orientations working together in a wide range of settings. It maintains close collaborative ties with the Department of Social Service, Department of Nursing, and the Medical and Surgical Subspecialties. Since its founding in 1934, the Service has focused its teaching efforts on residency training. All teaching staff and residents have appointments at both MGH and Harvard Medical School. MGH and McLean Hospital maintain a fully accredited combined general psychiatry residency training program, offering 16 positions in each of the general psychiatry training years (PGY II-IV). The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service maintains an extensive outpatient clinic with multiple subspecialty divisions, an active consultation service to pediatrics and the general hospital emergency department and close ties to the Shriners Burns Institute, the Spaulding Rehabilitation Center, the Eric Lindemann Mental Health Center and affiliated public sector neighborhood community clinics.
