The result is a residency training program that is open, progressive, and responsive to individual resident needs. Resident performance is formally evaluated using regular written evaluations, an annual national written exam administered by the American College of Psychiatrists, and an annual clinical performance exam for senior residents. Besides the formal methods of evaluation, faculty provide ongoing feedback in the context of supervision, seminars, case conferences, and other less formal meetings. The close interaction of faculty and residents is one of the strengths of the UCD training program in psychiatry. The UCD Department of Psychiatry offers a rich and intensive academic environment for applicants interested in becoming fully trained psychiatrists.
Clinical resources are strong, and the faculty is dedicated to excellence in psychiatric education.
A diverse clinical experience is matched with formal didactics and intensive supervision for an optimal training environment. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the program, interview with residents and faculty, and discover firsthand the educational opportunities of the UC Davis Residency Training Program in Psychiatry.
