ChristianaCare's Delaware psychiatry residency program highlights direct resident exposure to ECT and TMS in training for treatment-resistant psychiatric care.
Residency program describes neuromodulation exposure

The program specifically highlights electroconvulsive therapy, also called ECT, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS.
The source states that residents receive direct clinical exposure to these approaches. It presents this exposure as part of training related to treatment-resistant psychiatric care.
TMS is named among advanced techniques
ChristianaCare’s residency message identifies TMS as one of the advanced neuromodulation techniques included in the program’s training. The source places TMS alongside ECT in describing the clinical experience available to psychiatry residents in Delaware.
The message does not provide further details about the structure, duration, or number of residents involved in this training. It also does not describe particular patient populations, treatment protocols, or program outcomes.

Training opportunities involving advanced neuromodulation may be relevant to the future psychiatric workforce, but the source does not make claims about how many clinicians will provide these services after residency or where they may practice.
