Curriculum

With the assistance of a full interdisciplinary team that comprises attending physicians, psychiatric nurses, psychiatric technicians, occupational therapists, case managers, social workers and medical students, residents develop mastery of the biopsychosocial approach to patient care.

Exposure to psychotherapy starts during the second year. Residents will find ample exposure to a broad spectrum of individual interests, including:

Academic Psychiatry | Psychiatry Administration | Child & Adolescent Psychiatry | Community Psychiatry | Consultation/Liaison Psychiatry | Emergency Psychiatry | Forensic Psychiatry | Geriatric Psychiatry | Integrated Psychiatry | Substance Abuse Treatment

Faculty hold key positions in local psychoanalytic, cognitive/behavioral, gestalt, transpersonal and intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy institutes. Our program believes that mentorship is important. All residents are carefully supervised by faculty throughout their residency training.

During the last year of residency, there is ample time for clinical, administrative, teaching and research electives. These fourth-year electives provide the breadth of exposure and flexibility needed to effectively prepare for post-residency careers.

Additionally, residents are required to attend weekly half-day didactics and chief rounds, grand rounds and conferences. The selected conferences for this program are the American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting, Association of Medicine and Psychiatry Annual Meeting and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine SLEEP Meeting.
