The Resident Group

Currently, there are 64 residents in the program, including 11 in the Spokane Track and 4 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 twice-monthly business meetings and participation in the Resident Education Steering Committee, Admissions Committee, Curriculum Committee, Psychotherapy Workgroup, and Night Call Committee. Resident activities also include a variety of social occasions, including a New Resident party, Post-Medicine 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, Eli Lilly Biological Psychiatry Travel Award, 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, and the Ginsberg-AADPRT/Charter Fellowship.
