shrinkiatry context

The Maimonides psychiatry residency trains in a Brooklyn medical center known for serving an unusually diverse, multilingual patient population, and it leans into multicultural psychiatry as a core part of training. Residents move from a split medicine-and-psychiatry intern year through acute and consultation rotations to an outpatient PGY-3, with protected academic time, scholarly-activity requirements, and junior-attending roles in the final year. It's in Brooklyn.
