Psychiatry Education
Psychiatry Continuous Learning and Career Development
The education of the next generation of leaders in academic and clinical psychiatry is central to the mission of our department. We offer exceptional training opportunities for medical students, residents, psychology interns and neuropsychology fellows.
Medical Student Psychiatry Education
Our commitment to training and developing the next generation of psychiatry specialists is longstanding. We offer numerous education programs to qualified medical students, including our eight-week summer research fellowship, which is designed to promote diversity in the field of psychiatry biomedical research.
The one-year fellowship in Consultation-Liaison (CL) Psychiatry co-sponsored by the Harvard Medical School Departments of Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Veterans Affairs (VA) Boston Healthcare System, aims to foster a strong appreciation for the interactions between Psychiatry and other medical specialties.
This ACGME-accredited program is an exciting opportunity to study the intersection of psychiatry and specialties such as Internal Medicine, Neurology, Transplant, Oncology, OB-GYN, Surgery, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, and more under the guidance of expert BIDMC and VA Boston Healthcare System faculty.
The Department of Psychiatry's Continuing Education Program at BIDMC provides continuing education to mental health practitioners and other health professionals beyond their formal training.
Most of the programs and conferences are presented in conjunction with Harvard Medical School Department of Continuing Education. The major goal of CEP is to provide expertise and information in the field of mental health and related fields to all practitioners and enable them to keep abreast of new developments in research, practice and theory.
We understand that you do your best work when you are properly cared for. We offer all of our clinical trainees, including PhD students, fellows and residents, comprehensive mental and behavioral health resources to help ensure your psychological safety while at work or in class.
