Education & Training Programs
Medical Student Education
The goal of psychiatric education is to assist medical students in acquiring an understanding of and an appreciation for the application of behavioral and psychiatric principles in patient care and health maintenance through exposure to a progressive sequence of intellectual stimulations, clinical experiences, and appropriate professional socialization within the interdisciplinary framework of the new curriculum.
Psychiatry Residency Training
The University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt Psychiatry Residency Program is designed to train residents to be exceptional psychiatrists. Our program provides comprehensive, in-depth training in all aspects of psychiatry in a collaborative, collegial and supportive environment.
