Securing the right rotation during a psychiatry residency is crucial for gaining specialized experience and developing clinical skills. However, for those interested in treating eating disorders and other complex mental health conditions, finding a rotation that provides focused training can be challenging. This is where ViaMar Health’s partnership with HCA Hospitals comes in. The collaboration offers residents a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a specialized setting. Below is a quick overview of this partnership’s training opportunities and benefits.
Quick Overview of Training Opportunities and Benefits for Psychiatry Residents:
- Comprehensive Training in Eating Disorders: Experience working with conditions like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, and binge eating disorder.
- Exposure to Co-occurring Mental Health Conditions: Gain clinical experience in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other related conditions.
- Multidisciplinary Approach: Collaborate with psychiatrists, therapists, dietitians, and medical professionals to gain a well-rounded understanding of patient care.

The Struggle to Secure Specialized Psychiatry Rotations
Psychiatry residency is an essential time for budding professionals to gain hands-on experience in diagnosing, treating, and managing various mental health disorders. However, many residents find that the opportunities to work with eating disorders or other niche mental health areas are limited. The competitive nature of medical rotations and a shortage of specialized facilities can leave many residents struggling to find the experience they need to pursue their passion.
Moreover, eating disorders, in particular, require an in-depth understanding of both the psychological and physiological components of care. Traditional psychiatric rotations may not offer the focused training required to fully grasp the nuances of these complex conditions, leaving many residents feeling underprepared to treat this vulnerable population.
