Training Program in Psychiatry

The Program

The pivotal stage of one's career development, residency training is both the culmination of one's long road of formal medical education and the embarkation point for one's life-long journey of professional maturation and discovery. The choice of a training program is perhaps the most exciting and defining moment in this process. For more than a generation, the Yale Clinical and Basic NRTP in Psychiatry has helped residents-in-training meet their professional aspirations. The NRTP hopes you will consider this Program seriously and ultimately choose a place among your colleagues who are shaping psychiatry's future.

Psychiatry is at an historic frontier. With recent advances in the neurosciences, major disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and substance abuse, are on dramatic thresholds of discovery.

With the neurobiological basis of such disorders apparent on today's horizon, the Yale Department of Psychiatry has specifically developed the Clinical and Basic Neuroscience Research Training Program (NRTP). This specialized program within the Yale Psychiatry residency has two primary objectives for selected trainees:

• Comprehensive Mastery of Clinical Psychiatry, including inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, psychotherapy, adult and child psychiatry, alcohol & substance abuse, community psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and geriatric psychiatry.
• Advanced Training in Neurobiologic Psychiatry, including the:
  • Core Curriculum that teaches the clinical and basic neurosciences,
    
  • Research Specialty Clinics that integrate the fundamentals of neurobiological and clinical psychiatry, and the
    
  • Mentored Tutorial that guides residents through the development of their own independent research project
