Resident Life

Triple Board residents at Mount Sinai are incorporated into the social fabric of the pediatrics, psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry programs. They also enjoy a separate, tight-knit Triple Board community.  Though our residents across years are in vastly different areas of their training at any given time, there are many opportunities to come together as a group, including:

  • Weekly pediatric continuity clinic
  • Weekly Triple Board lunch meetings, which include check-ins with program leadership. didactic sessions focused on topics that synthesize the fields of pediatrics and child psychiatry, mentorship talks and group supervision
  • Fall and Spring Triple Board retreats, which have included informal resident-to-resident mentorship sessions, zip-lining adventures, culinary tours of the Bronx’s “Little Italy,” and afternoons at a board game café
  • Annual Triple Board Summit
  • The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Conference

  • Wellness days
  • Mental health resources, with the option to be referred to clinicians who are not affiliated with Mount Sinai or Mount Sinai Psychiatry faculty for the sake of your privacy
  • Family and medical leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
