The Psychiatry Residency program offers an outstanding training experience under the program’s leadership team. With subspecialty-trained faculty, residents get exposure to all disciplines of psychiatry while getting comprehensive experience in clinical work, research, and academia. We continuously aim to expand our offerings and support each resident with electives and opportunities that align with their individual interests.
Our residents are the true success of our program! Each trainee comes from a diverse background but collectively contributes to the collegial, diverse, and close-knit community in a department that takes pride in the long-standing tradition of providing top-quality care to patients of all backgrounds.
- Patient care

Curriculum Overview
Maimonides is truly an environment where learning is valued, and we take pride in providing residents the tools needed to become the psychiatric leaders of the future!
The clinical curriculum for PGY1s is split between 6 months of Medicine (Neurology, Primary Care, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics) and 6 months of Psychiatry (Inpatient and Emergency Psychiatry).
PGY2s split their time between Inpatient, Child and Adolescent, Emergency Psychiatry, Consultation-Liaison, an elective month, and a flexible “float” research month. Individual supervision and mentorship is provided on all rotations.
PGY3 is dedicated to outpatient psychiatry with split focus between medication management and various modalities of psychotherapy. Residents also have the opportunities to pursue specialty tracks of their choice such as psychotherapy, perinatal, LGBTQ+, research, and global mental health. Individual and group supervisions are provided for various patient populations and subspecialties within psychiatry.
PGY4s serve the role of Junior-Attendings on various clinical services, and have 4 months of elective time and 1 month of ACT rotation.
Each PGY class has 4 hours of protected time per week for the academic curriculum, in addition to Grand Rounds, Journal Club series, case conferences, and other interest talks. All residents also have additional protected time to work on scholarly activities (QI/research). We incorporate our state-of-the-art Simulation Center to help our residents build confidence and competence by learning and debriefing in a controlled environment.
