George Washington University Program
About This Program
The residency is deeply grounded in humanistic psychiatry. The residency program is committed to: Advance Psychiatry as a medical specialty that treats and relieves human suffering in the ancient role of physician as healer - but to do so more effectively, more efficiently, and with greater portability by drawing upon both neurosciences research and practices of humanism. We offer a training experience that is diverse, comprehensive and rigorous. -
