Supervised practice across a diverse array of settings and clinical experiences prepares residents for independent practice in any clinical setting. Our plan of clinical rotations is dynamic and has been designed to optimize residency education. We evaluate and adapt our curriculum in an ongoing way based on resident ideas and feedback.

The program devotes half a day each week to protected didactic time. All four classes participate in protected didactics, allowing for a truly longitudinal curriculum. The protected time starts with Grand Rounds, held every Wednesday at 11:00 AM. These interdisciplinary sessions include local, regional, and national speakers on a wide range of clinical and research topics.  

Grand Rounds is typically followed by a Program Director meeting, conference, or interest group meeting. The remainder of the afternoon consists of four hours of lectures tailored to residents’ level of training. First- and second-year residents focus on core psychiatric concepts. The third year is devoted to key concepts in outpatient care, including psychopharmacology, psychodynamic therapy, and behavioral therapies (CBT, DBT, and ACT). Fourth-year residents concentrate on advanced topics and transition to practice.
