Philadelphia is a city with numerous residency programs, major medical centers and a very active psychiatric community. There are two accredited psychoanalytic training programs in Philadelphia. There are currently 30 residents in our Program. There are 8 PGY 1 positions available for the 2001 academic year. We strongly believe that one of the best ways to learn is to teach.
Residents teach each other.
First year residents are assigned senior mentors to help them through the first year of training, and advanced residents are encouraged to support, and teach residents in earlier years of training. Teaching conferences play a key role in the Einstein's Psychiatry Residency Program. During the first two years of training, residents present cases in the inpatient and case conferences, which include attending staff, residents and ancillary staff such as nursing, social work and other disciplines. During the third year, residents present at the outpatient case conference. Yes, there is night call on either the Einstein or Belmont campus.
