Healthcare Like No Other for More Than 100 Years
When Arthur C. Scott, M.D., and Raleigh R. White Jr., M.D., began their medical practice in Temple, Texas in 1897, they shared one fundamental conviction: medicine must serve the people.


Today, Scott & White is the largest multi-speciality practice in Texas, with more than 500 physicians who care for patients at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple and at our 15 regional clinics throughout Central Texas. In addition, they deliver care to members of the Scott & White Health Plan, one of the highest rated plans in the nation.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Our Goal: To train child and adolescent residents to become competent, caring and successful practitioners in a dramatically changing healthcare environment.

Our Hope: That you will share in the excitement about our child and adolescent psychiatry residency program as you come to know us.

Program Overview
Our Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Program is a two-year program intended to follow completion of three or four years of General Psychiatry residency. We offer two positions each year. Our goal is to train competent, caring child and adolescent psychiatrists prepared to practice in a variety of settings in this regional and national subspecialty shortage area.

The hallmark of our training program is the nationally recognized managed care clinic in which our child and adolescent psychiatry residents see the majority of their outpatients over the two-year period. In this setting, residents learn to manage resources while providing their patients with optimal care, including assessment, medication management, and psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family, or group therapy. The patient population in the Scott & White system is culturally diverse and socioeconomically varied, with a rich variety of disorders and symptom severity as well as the gamut of payment sources. Resident caseloads are monitored to ensure a representative sampling of this population.

Supervision is provided regularly. Each trainee meets weekly with a yearly-assigned longitudinal outpatient therapy supervisor as well as a medication supervisor. In addition, each rotation is individually supervised weekly by the on-site attending faculty responsible for the rotation. Additional individual supervision is provided for cases requiring specific therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and family therapy. Faculty members are also available for immediate supervision.
