The Psychiatry Residency experience at Maimonides

We’re committed to providing the best resident wellness and work-life balance for our students. We offer multiple activities throughout the year to ensure our students are engaging in team-building and other exciting opportunities outside of their careers. We strive to provide our students with an outstanding overall experience—academically, emotionally, and physically.

"The program embodies an excellent combination of patient diversity, clinical expertise, and the camaraderie between residents and staff makes residency life an enjoyable experience."
