The Resident Group

Currently, there are 72 residents in the program, including 11 in the Spokane Track and 9 in our new Idaho Track. The residents represent a wide range of interests, both within and outside medicine, and many have had prior training or careers in other fields.

Resident feedback is very important in improving the program and maintaining an excellent training environment. Residents have an active voice within the program and the department through monthly business meetings and participation in the Resident Education Steering Committee, Admissions Committee, Curriculum Committee, Psychotherapy Workgroup, Night Call Committee, and Retreat Committee. Resident activities also include a variety of social occasions, including a New Resident party, Director's party, and fall overnight retreat.

Many of our residents have been active in a variety of academic and service organizations. Recent resident awards have included the NIMH Outstanding Resident Award, American Psychoanalytic Association Fellowship, APA/Glaxo-Wellcome Fellowship, APA/Bristol Myers Squibb Fellowship, Laughlin Fellowship, Association for Women Psychiatrists Travel Award, NIDA Travel Award, the John Spiegel Fellowship from the Society for the Study of Psychiatry and Culture, the Ginsberg-AADPRT/Charter Fellowship, and the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology Residents' Committee.
