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.
Dayton is
a pleasant environment in which to live. The metropolitan area of about
one million supports a rich cultural environment of museums, galleries,
and theaters, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and two professional
dance companies. Public and private schools are excellent, and 26 colleges
and universities are located in the area. Dayton has more public park "green
space" than any other city of its size in the U.S. Restaurants
and entertainment are abundant and accessible. Cincinnati, Columbus
and Indianapolis are all within an easy drive. Household incomes are
above the national average while the cost of living is below. Housing
is plentiful, affordable and convenient. |
