Medical Student Education

Our medical student education program helps students on their journey to excel as physicians, and inspires those who are considering psychiatry as a specialty.


Our Department provides a broad array of clinical and research experiences for medical students. Our active learning approach enables medical students to learn more about how the brain works and the important role of behavioral health to a person’s overall health through direct interaction with patients. This experience is supplemented by a rich didactic curriculum and personalized mentoring.  

Our faculty, residents, and fellows are committed to educating medical students through our immense clinical experiences, providing them with a unparallelled foundation in psychiatry and skills needed to flourish in their academic and clinical careers.  Our team of psychiatric advisors is ready to help all students with an interest in exploring a career in psychiatry.
