We are extremely proud of the accomplishments that our residents achieve during training. Some of our residents have even found the time to go beyond carrying out the work expected of our resident physicians and have made notable contributions to our field. Some have presented their research findings at major national meetings, while others have been authors on a paper. Finally, some have even won a national award recognizing a significant contribution to the field of psychiatry.
