The Psychiatry Residency Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital is built on a foundation of individualized training, intellectual rigor, and clinical excellence. At Mount Sinai, we do not simply train psychiatrists. We cultivate specialists who will shape the future of our field.

What makes Mount Sinai special is our commitment to treating you as an individual from day one. We recognize that psychiatry applicants are different, and our curriculum reflects this. We are deliberate about maximizing flexibility in your training. Beyond core competencies in clinical psychiatry, we help you build your own experiences so you can develop true specialization. Our residents treat patients across an exceptionally diverse population, work alongside leading experts in subspecialty areas, and have the latitude to pursue concentrated interests through substantial elective time.

The addition of the Mount Sinai-Behavioral Health Center as a major training site further expanded our offerings. Representing one of the largest private investments in psychiatry in New York State history, the Mount Sinai-Behavioral Health Center provides wraparound services under one roof—allowing you to follow patients through their entire continuum of care rather than losing track of them at discharge. You will gain an intimate understanding of community psychiatry, crisis intervention, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programming.

Residency training is demanding work, but we are dedicated to making these years professionally productive and personally fulfilling. Our residency leadership team has been working together for well over a decade, and we are committed to your success. We are here to support you, challenge you, and help you become the psychiatrist you aspire to be.
