Why I chose UTH Psychiatry Research Track: The vast cutting-edge research opportunities available at the program, the supportive and collaborative environment, and the mentorship to guide my career path attracted me to this program.  Having been here for three years, this program has met those needs and so much more. I am excited for that this fourth year brings and the eventual goal of being a faculty member performing research.
