SUNY Upstate Medical University Program
About This Program
Nestled in the heart of Central New York, our Psychiatry Residency Program fosters a culture of wellness. This begins with Cornerstone: a unique 4-week experience introducing residents to our community, institution, and curriculum. Through our 5 Pillars of Curriculum: Psychotherapy, Neurobiological Training, Healthcare Systems, Research, and Sub-Specialties, residents longitudinally build their knowledge base while honing their psychotherapy skills, preparing them for their ideal practice.
