AltaPointe has a contract with the University of South Alabama to provide administration and faculty for the USA College of Medicine Department of Psychiatry. AltaPointe provides both clinical and didactic, which includes textbook and lecture, training to residents, medical students, certified registered nurse practiioner students and physician assistant students.
AltaPointe's psychiatrists are faculty for the department. All of the psychiatrists are either board certified or preparing to take their board examinations. Most of them have at least one sub-specialty, such as, child and adolescent psychiatry or forensic psychiatry.
The agreement strengthens the relationship between AltaPointe and the University. In addition, the arrangement is more efficient for the University than hiring psychiatrists from across the United States or from other countries. AltaPointe hopes that the USA medical residents who declare psychiatry as a specialty will remain in Mobile to practice, thus helping increase the pool of psychiatrists tremendously needed in the Greater Mobile area.
