Psychiatry is one of the most rapidly changing disciplines in medicine today. I would like to congratulate you on your decision to enter the field of psychiatry, and I am delighted that you are interested in our residency program.

Our department has a strong sense of commitment to education with a comprehensive academic curriculum, active faculty mentoring, and excellent clinical training which stems from the diverse community that we serve. Our program strives to teach our residents the biological, physiological and socio-cultural aspects of psychiatry as well as provide training in both somatic and psychotherapeutic treatment modalities. We also strive to provide a flexible learning environment in which residents can customize their experience to explore their individual interests.

We are pleased to have an outstanding group of faculty and residents who are committed to excellence in patient care, teaching, and research. This web site is intended to give you a brief overview of the residency program including information about our curriculum, faculty, residents, alumni, as well as life in Philadelphia.

We are confident that the balanced training you will receive at Temple will serve as a template from which you can practice psychiatry in academic, community, and clinical settings. We look forward to working with you.
