Resident Life
The Residency Program in Psychiatry always attempts to convey a sense
of perspective. Proper devotion to family and fun are as important to
the resident's growth as attention to the curriculum. Residents organize
a Literature Seminar, meeting at residents' homes in the evening to discuss
works of nonscientific literature. Faculty frequently host social events
at their homes. A yearly residents' retreat serves to consolidate group
cohesion while addressing administrative opportunities.
