Our Services
Welcome
The Medical College of Wisconsin recognizes that its students, residents and fellows work hard and carry many responsibilities.
We are aware that the demands of education, training and service to patients can produce a variety of stressors for individuals and their families. Student and Resident Behavioral Health Services provides a comprehensive program to meet these professional and personal mental health needs.
We value your dedication and hope you find these resources helpful.
