Sheppard Pratt Health System and the University of Maryland operate a joint residency training program. The merged programs have a full complement of 76 residents with a completely integrated four year didactic and clinical curriculum.

This merger process began in 1994 as both programs, looking to the future, sought to formulate a plan combining the areas of excellence in each program in order to develop a top-notch program that attracts the most promising residents in an increasingly competitive training field. The most rigorous rotations and most highly qualified teachers from the two programs were incorporated into the joint program. The result is a creative melding of the traditional areas of excellence from the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital and The University of Maryland Medical School into an outstanding residency program in psychiatry which addresses the academic and professional demands of the new millennium.

The Program

1300 hours of didactic instruction over four years builds a firm knowledge base in general psychiatry, neurobiology, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
