Reported by the program

The program describes the following on its official website, reviewed on July 27, 2026.

Status
The program reports that it welcomed its first, inaugural residency class on July 1, 2025, so it's a brand-new program. It's part of Northwell Health and the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.
Size and setting
The program reports only four residents per year, which it says allows for individual attention, at Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side. It emphasizes integrating psychiatry within a general hospital and access to broader Northwell resources, including Zucker Hillside Hospital.

shrinkiatry context

Lenox Hill's program is one of the newest psychiatry residencies in New York City, admitting its first class in 2025, so it has no graduates yet and its curriculum and outcomes are still taking shape. Its small size and Manhattan general-hospital setting are its defining features so far. It's on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
