“We strive to find a balance of the academic rigor while maintaining a collegial setting. Residency is a critical time for learning clinical skills and knowledge, but also making personal connections with department colleagues. We want to maintain high standards, but also build an environment of support and well-being where residents can thrive.
The department offers strong clinical services, excellent teachers, and world-class research – with faculty who are approachable and supportive. We have also committed to improving our efforts in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This is moving how we approach recruitment of residents and faculty, teaching, and how we provide clinical care to all in our community.
The UW Department of Psychiatry has been my professional home since residency, and I am honored to have this important role of leading our residency! I hope you will consider joining us.”
