Boston Medical Center is the largest safety net hospital in New England and the primary teaching hospital for the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. The Department of Psychiatry is made up of a diverse group of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and trainees.
