Welcome To NYC Health & Hospitals at Lincoln
Lincoln Medical Center, founded in 1839, is one of New York City’s premier acute care hospitals located in Downtown Bronx. Our facility has an inpatient capacity of 347 beds, with 60 beds allocated for our two Psychiatry Inpatient units. Our Trauma Center is the busiest in the northeast region and the third busiest in the country.
Our Psychiatry Program is an ACGME accredited, Residency Training Program. It provides fundamental clinical skills, didactic training and close mentorship to prepare trainees.
Our dedicated staff of attendings is academically-oriented and take great pride in mentoring and educating residents. Attending physicians have high expectations for the residents, and provides them with progressive clinical responsibilities during the four-year curriculum.
Residency at Lincoln Medical Center is not all about work. Our residents’ bond by working together as a team and as well during didactics and various social activities. We have planned lunch after Grand Rounds while discussing Case Conference and Journal Clubs. We have 2 Wellness Days where the residents are off work and plan an activity with their T-group leader. We also have a yearly Holiday Party in December, and our annual Graduation in June
I look forward to further discussing your interest in our Psychiatry Residency Program.
The Residency Training Program in Adult Psychiatry of Lincoln Medical & Mental Health Center offers the resident the ideal learning environment - a combination of a rich clinical service in a busy city hospital and the academic support provided by a multidisciplinary academic faculty. The training program is designed to prepare residents as well-rounded clinicians while presenting them with the opportunity to pursue academic, research and other specialized interests.
PGY I -PGY IV
PGY I through PGY IV residents are trained in all aspects of the clinical examination, psychiatric diagnosis and treatment in inpatient and outpatient settings. Residents receive comprehensive and integrated training with major theoretical contributions from all models of understanding people, including the psychosocial sciences, neurosciences and systems theory. This conceptual framework is integrated with supervised clinical experience to provide the resident with a broad understanding of human behavior in health and illness. The resident is trained in the use of each of the diverse treatment approaches existing in the field, including exploratory and supportive psychotherapies conducted on an individual and group basis, cognitive and behavioral therapies, family therapy, psychopharmacologic strategies, and techniques in community psychiatry.
