Weill Cornell Medicine psychiatry residents participate in weekly psychiatric grand rounds at both the Payne Whitney Clinic and NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Division. Residents are invited to lunch with speakers and departmental faculty members following their talks.
Our novel clinical scholars program fosters career development and improves clinical scholarship among residents. All residents participate in didactics, group mentorship, writing seminars and career days, as part of a concerted effort to train well-informed academic psychiatrists.
2016-17 Weill Cornell Medicine Psychiatry Resident Publications and Presentations
All residents are invited to participate in scholarly writing seminars, biweekly meetings of senior and junior faculty members who meet to discuss ideas and review drafts of manuscripts prepared for possible publication. Since the program's inception, these seminars have led to over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals, almost half of which have been co-authored by our trainees.
This joint educational and quality initiative was developed for faculty members and trainees across disciplines to promote evidence-based practice and encourage clinicians to reflect on current clinical practices and implement change. The program covers a given major psychiatric disorder over a three-month period, including educational practice guidelines for the disorder, a medical record review of prevailing treatment practices in the department and pre- and post-program knowledge assessment.
Previous DOQ topics include bipolar disorder, alcohol withdrawal, pediatric OCD and metabolic syndrome. The program has measurably improved our clinical practice and enhanced our training and education programs.
During these monthly case conferences, we identify a case with a particular difficulty or adverse outcome, usually related to a DOQ topic. The case is presented by a resident, discussed by a faculty speaker as a lecture and then discussed by residents and faculty together as a group. The format is collegial and designed to improve our clinical practice and our own experience in caring for some of our most complex patients.
We provide a weekly lunch for all residents (and sometimes for hungry faculty members), during which we discuss issues related to work in our training program and the experience of learning to become a physician and psychiatrist. Guests are invited to speak about topics relevant to our residents' interests and needs.
Invited speakers discuss their career choices during this acclaimed, annual half-day meeting for all residents.
Psychiatric residents in all four years of training participate in formal didactic and informal clinical teaching of medical students. Our clerkship is consistently rated as a favorite of Weill Cornell Medicine students, in large part due to the teaching skills of our gifted residents.
Council residents attend to the social well-being of house staff and faculty members alike, coordinating lunches, happy hours, the famous resident picnic and our annual resident-faculty holiday show.
In addition to these local activities, our residents are invited to participate in educational activities held throughout our campus and its neighboring institutions. These activities include:
