shrinkiatry context

The Mount Sinai psychiatry residency is one of the larger psychiatry training programs in the country, built around a flexible, individualized model that lets residents develop a niche in clinical care, research, education, administration, or public psychiatry early in training. Residents split core time between a quaternary-care hospital and a freestanding behavioral health center, and the program emphasizes wellness through a family-based mentorship structure. It's in New York City, on the Upper East Side.
