Comparison With Categorical Program
PGY-1:
• The PGY-1 year is the same as the MGH/McLean Adult General Psychiatry Categorical Track. Residents in the Public and Community Psychiatry Track will complete their 5 months of internal medicine at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, alongside 10 of the residents in the Adult General Psychiatry Track.
• Residents in this track have the opportunity to participate in a series of dedicated events such as the Public and Community Psychiatry Early Career Mentorship Initiative, the Public and Community Psychiatry Special Interest Group, and the Community and Global Psychiatry Concentration.
PGY-2:
• The PGY-2 year differs from the MGH/McLean Adult General Psychiatry Categorical Track by having 2 of the 3.5 months of inpatient psychiatry training occur at sites operated by Massachusetts DMH.
• Residents in this track can devote their elective time in clinical, academic and scholarly activities related to Public and Community Psychiatry.
PGY-3:
• The PGY-3 year differs from the MGH/McLean Adult General Psychiatry Categorical Track by having 1 of the 4 months of consultation-liaison psychiatry training occur at sites operated by Massachusetts DMH, and by having a greater proportion of outpatient training occur in community clinics and early psychosis clinics.
PGY-4:
• The PGY-4 year is largely elective other than ongoing training in outpatient psychiatry. Residents in the Public and Community Psychiatry Track may choose from elective experiences in the community or at MGH or McLean.
