Residency Program Seminars

The General Psychiatry Seminar Series for the academic year 2008-2009 contains individual seminars for each PGY year. In addition a sizable number of seminars (particularly in the first two years) are conducted with a combined PGY-1 -2 cohort. This integration is advantageous as it:

    •       -  Increases the critical mass of the seminar size (increasing interaction and learning)
    •       -  Increases quality/consistency of educational/seminar offerings
    •       -  Promotes greater cohesion between the PGY-1 and PGY-2 classes

Specific seminar offerings for each year consist of the following:

PGY-1

  • Introduction to Psychiatry
  • Emergency Psychiatry
  • Introduction to Psychopharmacology
