Psychiatry Residency

Our Psychiatry Residency Program is designed to build confident, well-rounded psychiatrists who are ready to lead. From the start, residents take on meaningful clinical responsibilities with guidance from faculty who are deeply invested in teaching. Our team includes experts in neuroimaging, addiction, trauma, mood disorders and psychotherapy, offering mentorship across every area of psychiatry. Residents learn to think critically, communicate clearly and provide care that meets the needs of each person they serve.

Training is structured around a four-year ACGME-accredited curriculum with progressive responsibility, personalized supervision and broad exposure to diverse populations. Residents rotate through inpatient units, outpatient clinics, emergency services and consult-liaison teams at Tufts Medical Center and partner sites. Our affiliation with the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health also provides valuable experience in public psychiatry and long-term care. Every rotation is designed to develop strong clinical judgment and a deep understanding of the full spectrum of psychiatric care.

Our program also creates space for residents to explore their interests and grow as leaders. Whether you’re drawn to research, teaching, advocacy or global mental health, we help you build the skills and connections to move forward. Residents work closely with mentors, contribute to scholarly work and join efforts that drive change in the field. With a focus on collaboration, equity and whole-person care, our training prepares you to make a lasting impact in psychiatry.
