At Duke, we are proud to have a psychiatry residency program comprised of residents who have attended medical school from across the U.S. and the world. We believe that the varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of our residents and faculty add an essential richness to the training experience and resident community.
We are also fortunate to live and work in a city as diverse as Durham, NC. Duke psychiatry residents provide direct care to a wide range of patient populations across our core hospital sites (Duke, Durham VA, and the state hospital). Additionally, our residents have the opportunity to complete valuable community psychiatry rotations such as Lincoln Community Mental Health Center and El Futuro. Residents may also gain experience in gender-affirming mental healthcare through rotations in a gender clinic.
Our goal is to train the next generation of psychiatrists to provide high-quality and culturally responsive care to all individuals and communities. In part, we achieve this goal through a robust didactic curriculum that includes discussions about social determinants of health, structural systems, cultural case formulation, implicit bias, and policy and advocacy efforts.
