Psychiatry
Didactics
A strong didactic program is critical to any training experience. Our commitment to this facet of resident education involves the unique philosophy of "protected time." For two half-days each week throughout the year, residents are relieved from clinical duties. During this time they attend a core lecture series, grand rounds, and variety of conferences and seminars. They also attend a noteworthy visiting lecture series featuring nationally and internationally eminent figures in psychiatry. The core didactic program has been structured a step-wise fashion, progressing from introductory level courses for the new residents to an extensive core of specialized courses during the PGY-2 and 3 years. The PGY-4 year is devoted to advanced seminars, research and independent study.
