Supporting Education
Since the first class in 1933, some of the best minds in psychiatry have trained at The Menninger Clinic. More than 3,000 alumni practice in 50 states and 26 other countries.
Students from The Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine now complete their advanced residency at The Menninger Clinic. These trainees maintain rigorous schedules, including both coursework and patient care under the supervision of internationally renowned clinicians.
In addition to technical skills, the development of character, integrity, intelligence and sensitivity to human suffering is critical to providing quality care. Unlike training in the typical psychiatric hospital, trainees at Menninger become immersed in the personhood, humanity and life of the patient. This immersion enhances the resident's skill set and his/her effectiveness as a clinician.
The defining feature of Menninger treatment and education is the integration of the medical, psychological, behavioral and social models. This is accomplished through the use of multidisciplinary teams that include the patient as an actual member and active collaborator in his/her own treatment.
Menninger provides a proven treatment model that is extremely effective with the most treatment-resistant patients—those who do not respond to the traditional methods now taught in the majority of medical schools.
Support for training residents is dependent upon private contributions. Your contribution will help us train the "best and brightest" mental health providers. In addition to unrestricted education support, your gift can be directed to specific programs:
You may wish to endow a chair, a professorship, a scholarship, or a fellowship. In creating one of these naming opportunities, you join those distinguished philanthropists who understand the importance of training a new generation of leaders who will advance the prevention and treatment of mental illness.
The staff of the Menninger Development office would be pleased to assist you and/or your advisors in creating a gift plan that helps you realize your philanthropic goals. To learn more about how you can make a contribution, please e-mail or call the Menninger Development Department at 800-288-3950. Or, you may make a gift online using a credit card.
Menninger is the psychiatric teaching facility of the Baylor College of Medicine an affiliate of The Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center.
