A distinguished academic, Dr. Byrd earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Birmingham-Southern College before pursuing his medical education at William Carey University School of Osteopathic Medicine (2012-2016). During his residency in psychiatry at UAB (2016-2020), he identified a critical need for comprehensive and accessible psychiatric care, particularly within correctional facilities. This experience fueled his dedication to breaking down barriers to mental health services.
Dr. Byrd’s exceptional aptitude for psychiatry was evident as he scored in the top 2% nationwide in the PRITE (Psychiatry Residency In Training Exam). However, he realized that true impact lies in the practical application of knowledge. Following his residency, he assumed the role of Director of Mental Health at Cullman Regional Medical Center, where he spearheaded innovative approaches to patient care.
Driven by a passion for education and community engagement, Dr. Byrd stepped out of the directorship role and transitioned to a role as adjunct faculty at the University of South Alabama Psychiatry residency program. This move allowed him to focus on building a progressive psychiatric practice in Birmingham, prioritizing patient care over bureaucratic hurdles often associated with traditional healthcare models.
At the core of Dr. Byrd’s mission is the desire to create a lasting legacy of mental health empowerment. By challenging conventional healthcare norms and advocating for patient-centered approaches, he aims to inspire individuals and communities to prioritize their mental well-being. His vision extends towards a future where mental health care is accessible, destigmatized, and truly transformative.
