shrinkiatry context

The Lincoln psychiatry residency trains in a high-volume public hospital serving the South Bronx, one of New York's most under-resourced communities, where residents see a wide range of pathology and provide culturally relevant care to a heavily immigrant population. The program balances that busy clinical service with an academic affiliation to Weill Cornell and strong supervision, moving residents from inpatient and emergency work toward outpatient and community psychiatry. It's in the Bronx.
