Chief Residents' Message

A reflection from the 2024-2025 Chief Residents

Dear prospective resident,

We are excited to introduce our Psychiatry Residency Program at Northwestern! We’re all about providing an amazing educational experience that sets you up for a successful career in psychiatry. Our program combines a solid academic foundation with hands-on clinical training and continuous learning. We work with a diverse patient population, getting exposure to a wide range of psychiatric conditions in a lively urban environment. We also work with faculty who have a wide variety of interests and are dedicated to resident education. 

What makes us special is the variety of clinical experiences we offer—from inpatient and outpatient care to emergency and community-based settings at our VA affiliate site. We’re proud of our warm, friendly, and supportive program culture. Here, every resident is valued, and we encourage you to grow both professionally and personally. We believe in a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere that helps cultivate compassionate and skilled psychiatrists. Last but not least, Chicago’s rich cultural scene and vibrant neighborhoods make it an incredible place to train and live. 

We would love for you to join us and be part of a community dedicated to excellence in psychiatric education and patient care.
