Supervision

All residents receive at least 3-5 hours of faculty supervision per week, including attending supervision on inpatient, emergency room, and consultation-liaison services; off-ward supervision by clinical faculty during inpatient rotations; caseload supervision in outpatient clinics; group supervision in psychotherapy seminars and at some outpatient clinics; and a minimum of 2 hours per week of individual psychotherapy supervision.

Supervisors are drawn from the regular faculty and over 300 clinical faculty, who represent a wide variety of perspectives and supervise residents in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, dialectical-behavioral, and other psychotherapies, as well as psychopharmacology and the integration of different treatment modalities.

Each resident in the program is also assigned a faculty preceptor or mentor, who is chosen to match the resident’s stated interests within psychiatry.

The preceptor advises the resident in choosing rotations, in identifying opportunities in his/her area of interest, and in career planning. If necessary, the preceptor also serves as an advocate for the resident.
