Trainee Scholarly Activity

The Vanderbilt Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science’s mission is to provide the highest quality care to our patients while educating the next generation of clinicians, educators, and scientists. In our general psychiatry residency program, in addition to providing robust clinical training, we value scholarly activity describing clinical experiences, educational initiatives, quality improvement efforts, and original scientific research aimed at improving care for individuals with mental health disorders.  We facilitate resident scholarly activity through individualized mentorship, time and funding to attend and present research at scientific meetings, and research resources. 

 

Such scholarly efforts are tailored to help address the particular interests of each resident.  Recent Examples of our trainees' scholarly activity include:
