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.
