Residents will have dedicated time for didactics every Thursday afternoon during the four years. Along with didactics, other educational activities such as case conference, grand rounds, workshops, and journal clubs will occur on a rotation basis. As per ACGME requirements, residents will also do a Quality Improvement (QI) QI project under allocated protected time. We value wellness for both residents and faculty, and we appreciate the GME department's support and emphasis on this aspect in all its programs.

All PGY1 residents will be on the same service in their first month of residency for a “crash course” in psychiatry. This time will feature added didactics towards learning the basics of being a resident, psychiatric assessment/treatment, and building familiarity with local systems.
