Psychiatry Medical Residency Program
Led by Dr. Praveen Narahari, the Psychiatry Medical Residency Program at North Alabama Shoals Hospital is the only one of its kind in northwest Alabama. Accredited by ACGME, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the program is aimed at bridging the gap in behavioral health services for the citizens of Shoals and throughout the state and region.
“The central focus of our program is to train new psychiatrists, addressing the critical need our community has for these specialists,” said Narahari. “Our mission is to provide excellent quality psychiatric services to the residents of Northwest Alabama, and this program is a significant step in that direction. We recognize the urgent need for more psychiatrists in our region, and this program is our response to that need.”
Medical residents at North Alabama Shoals Hospital will work side-by-side and train under the supervision of an attending physician board-certified in their specialty.
