shrinkiatry context

The Jamaica Hospital psychiatry residency trains in what it calls the most culturally diverse county in the country, giving residents unusually broad exposure to varied pathology, languages, and treatment settings across two Queens hospitals and community clinics. The curriculum blends inpatient and outpatient work with distinctive rotations in addiction, crisis, geriatric, and forensic psychiatry, plus elective and research time. It's in Jamaica, in Queens.
