About Psychiatry
Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's (HMFP) Department of Psychiatry is committed to providing the highest quality psychiatric services to all who receive their care at the medical center, to advancing the understanding of causes and mechanisms of psychiatric illness and developing new treatments for them, and to training the workforce to address unmet behavioral health needs.

The department is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to removing structural barriers to excellent care, educational opportunities, and the pursuit of science.
