Train with 黑料网 Psychiatry

鈥淚t鈥檚 hard for me to find words to describe how much 黑料网 means to me. I have been at 黑料网 a long time- undergrad, medical school, residency, and now fellowship at 黑料网 and I feel like I grew up here. I feel like you all are my family, you have touched my heart in so many ways and really shaped me into the person I am. I鈥檓 so grateful to have trained here.鈥�

鈥淚 remember coming here to interview five years ago in person and having my tour and I remember thinking to myself, the people here really love what they do. Throughout my experience here whatever specialty, whatever niche they鈥檙e in, people really love the field, they love their patients and that鈥檚 the kind of mentorship I was seeking. That鈥檚 the kind of role models I wanted and the type of physician I want to be. Thank you all, I had a blast in residency, I loved it! and would recommend.鈥�

鈥淒rs. Dawkins, Li, Meltzer-Brody, Penaskovic, Hall, I got to watch their leadership styles and learned so much in the intentional time they spent with us. All of the Women鈥檚 Mood Disorders folks, Drs. Rubinow, Cox, Riddle, Ruminjo, Kimmel, they all really encouraged and inspired me to focus on this in my career. I don鈥檛 think I would have found that anywhere else, and I鈥檓 so thankful for that.鈥�

鈥淎ll of you faculty have given me the structure and the freedom to find my own style and to feel comfortable and well-trained doing the best that I can in the service of the patients that I get to work with and so what I鈥檝e learned from this group of really smart, warm, approachable faculty is how to be just that, Dr. Dickson.鈥�

Bianca Waters, MD

鈥淲henever people ask me why I went to 黑料网, you [Dr. Karon Dawkins, Education Program Director] are one of the first things that comes to mind.

Thank you for all the dedication you put into our education over the years.鈥�

鈥淕raduating from 黑料网 is very bittersweet for me. I鈥檒l truly miss the academic environment, the collaboration support and the variety I have been able to experience during residency and fellowship. It truly is a family and I鈥檓 so lucky to have been a part of it for these 5 years. I鈥檓 really happy I had an extra year here at 黑料网 to continue my training in the fellowship because I鈥檝e learned so much and had the opportunity to work with so many more really incredible people.

鈥満诹贤� Psychiatry offered me incredibly strong and diverse clinical training opportunities, though it was the experiences the department allowed me to create that are most meaningful to me. I was able to have protected time to explore my interests in curriculum development, education, and clinical informatics while being afforded elective opportunities to gain admission to my preferred fellowship program. The degree to which the department listens to residents' input is truly remarkable and allows for the collaborative and collegial environment at 黑料网鈥�
Evan Vitiello, MD
General Adult Residency, 鈥�20
鈥淚 knew immediately after my interview that 黑料网 was the environment I wanted to train in for general psychiatric residency. 黑料网 Psychiatry is at the forefront of innovative and evidence-based care, while also focusing on compassionate, patient-centered, and safe care for diverse and medically-complex patients. The training is rigorous and yet the collegiality of the trainees and faculty promote a very friendly and relaxed environment. Ranking 黑料网 #1 was easily one of the best academic and professional decisions I鈥檝e ever made. It is truly an honor to call my 黑料网 mentors and co-residents colleagues and friends!鈥�
Rachel Frische, MD
General Adult Residency, 鈥�19
鈥淚 think we are a department that uniquely prioritizes resident education and I know that it is done with intention, so I appreciate you for the gift you have given us as trainees. Dr. Dawkins and Li were monumental in me coming to 黑料网, from the first contact I knew 黑料网 was a place that promoted directness and passion about education as well as collegiality and from my first impression now, looking back four years I can say that鈥檚 all come to fruition.鈥�
Amanda Sanders, MD
General Adult Residency, 鈥�21
鈥淚 am so thankful for my time here at 黑料网, not only for the great training and clinical expertise but also for all of the people I鈥檝e gotten and know and work with along the way. When I interviewed here, I quickly picked up on the warmth and kindness and friendliness within our department and I think these things have been consistent through my time my years in training.鈥�
Erin Heimbach, MD

"The faculty in this department prioritize education and mentorship in a way that is remarkable. I have garnered such invaluable knowledge from a wide range of attendings here, and they tend to impart it in a way that is warm, enthusiastic, supportive, and fun. I enjoy and benefit from my attendings, department administration, co-residents, multi-disciplinary colleagues (including nursing, occupational therapy, recreational therapy etc.) and program staff so much - that was what I was most looking for in a program, and I can say without any reservations that I found it at 黑料网."
Zachary Cohen, MD

鈥淚 would like to thank all of the faculty. I have learned so much from all of you over the past four years. What I love the most about this program is I always appreciate the kind heartedness and humor that all the faculty managed to bring to their work. Given all that we deal with regularly, the lightness made all the difference and I am so happy that I have been surrounded by that culture and that mindset during training.鈥�
