General Info
This is a unique track within the psychiatry residency that incorporates research experiences and training throughout the PGY-1 through PGY-4 years. Identification of a project and mentor begins early in the PGY-1 year, with protected time allotted for research in all 4 years. This track maximizes research time and training concurrently with acquiring clinical competence in psychiatry; its goal is to develop clinician-scientists for future academic roles in psychiatry.
