Psychiatry

” I’m incredibly grateful to have chosen WashU for my psychiatry residency. The training is outstanding, but what truly sets WashU apart—and what has quickly become my favorite part—is the people. Not only are the residents up and coming leaders in psychiatry, but they have also become lifelong friends. The faculty, residents, and staff create a warm, supportive, and intellectually vibrant environment that makes each day both fulfilling and inspiring.

This program is a uniquely incredible place to train. The department has a long history of leadership in the field, giving our faculty privileged insight into the ways psychiatry has advanced for the last numerous decades, as they have all trained and worked on this leading edge. Despite this expertise, they remain incredibly kind, eager to teach and mentor, and unpredictably hilarious. I went into residency knowing I would love my co-residents and learn an astounding amount from faculty, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much fun I’ve been having at the same time.

I can’t imagine another place where I could be this happy and well-trained at the same time. All the alumni I’ve spoken with—whether they’re working in an academic setting at another hospital or have gone into private practice—have voluntarily expressed how grateful they are for the training they received here at WashU. The camaraderie between attendings and residents across different classes is unmatched. I feel incredibly grateful to be here and am excited and confident about my future career after residency.
