Electives

We encourage our residents to design electives to pursue individual interests or gain greater experience with specialty rotations.

Our faculty have helped residents develop electives in such areas as addiction psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry and more specialized fields, including:

junior attending
neuropsychological testing
sleep disorders
community psychiatry
forensic psychiatry
partial hospitalization
geriatric psychiatry
hospice and palliative care
education and teaching
evidence-based psychiatry

You can also use electives to work on inpatient rotations with an attending physician or psychiatrist of your choice, conduct independent research or explore the interface between multiple fields—conducting neuropsychological testing in forensic settings or studying sleep disorders in adolescents, for example.

If you have questions about elective projects and rotations, contact the program director:
