Overview
This program was created to address the shortage of psychiatrists in rural WNC, where all 16 counties have been designated as mental health provider shortage areas. Our mission is to train residents to work with the rural and underserved population of WNC. The ARHS' Behavioral Health Services in Linville includes an outpatient clinic as well as a brand new 27-bed inpatient behavioral health hospital. We look forward to reviewing your application!
