shrinkiatry context

The Brookdale psychiatry residency trains in a central Brooklyn safety-net system serving a diverse, high-need population, so residents see a broad range of psychiatric disorders across inpatient, emergency, consultation, addiction, geriatric, and outpatient settings. Full-time faculty supervise each rotation, and the program builds toward senior leadership roles and independent practice. It's in Brooklyn.
