Psychiatry Residency Training Program

Cleveland Clinic's Department of Psychiatry and Psychology serves as a state-of-the-art teaching and clinical experience for residents in the adult psychiatry training program. Outstanding lectures, excellent supervision and an extensive array of clinical rotations have provided the solid building blocks upon which the program has thrived.

Resident training includes diverse exposure in the core areas of the following:

Inpatient psychiatry
Outpatient psychiatry
Chemical dependency
Child & adolescent psychiatry
Geriatric psychiatry
Psychosomatic medicine
The program offers outstanding education with excellent supervision, strong research and a vast array of clinical rotations and academic opportunities.

Teaching faculty at Cleveland Clinic
The teaching faculty at Cleveland Clinic are committed to helping you reach your professional and personal goals, priding themselves in the development of superior clinical psychiatrists. Many serve in various national organizations and hold appointments in the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, enriching the residency experience.

Cleveland Clinic's Department of Psychiatry has provided the highest quality in mental healthcare, research and medical education for more than 40 years. National surveys of physicians and hospitals consistently recognize Cleveland Clinic for its excellent medical care. Residents enjoy the opportunity of training in a 1400-bed, internationally renowned, tertiary care hospital. The presence of Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine also provides ongoing opportunities for involvement in medical student training.

Patient diversity
Patient diversity provides challenge and in-depth clinical experience to allow steady progression in the residents’ training. Psychiatry residents become adept at working with all socio-economic levels, as well as a broad variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Residents carry more patients as they progress through their residency and gain expertise in managing various kinds of diagnoses. Our graduates are recruited into academic settings, community psychiatry, private practice, medical directorships, consultation psychiatry and various combined positions.

Facilities and training sites
Cleveland Clinic, Main Campus serves as the primary training site of the Psychiatry Residency Program. The campus is located on the historical Euclid Avenue, in close proximity to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Severance Hall and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. The inpatient units on the main campus include the Alcohol and Drug Recovery Center and the Child and Adolescent Inpatient Unit. The Adult and Pediatric Psychiatric Consultation Services manage psychosomatic issues in a wide array of medical and surgical conditions.

Cleveland Clinic Lutheran Hospital, a 204-bed acute care facility, houses the primary adult inpatient psychiatric unit of the Cleveland Clinic Department of Psychiatry. Lutheran Hospital holds a total number of approximately 80 behavioral unit beds, which also includes an inpatient geropsychiatry unit and an innovative Mood Disorders Psychopharmacology Inpatient Unit.

Lutheran Hospital is approximately a 10-minute drive from main campus.

Other training sites include the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center in Brecksville, NorthCoast Behavioral Forensics Unit in Sagamore Hills, as well as Community Hospitals and Family Health Centers located throughout the Cleveland Clinic Health System.

Program structure

PGY-1
An orientation course is given during the initial summer months to facilitate the transition. The PGY-1 resident spends four months in primary care (combination of inpatient, outpatient, and Emergency Medicine) and two months of neurology.

Neurology rotation involves exposure & management of various neurological disorders through inpatient and consultation services. Residents participate in neurology conferences, rounds and other educational activities to gain additional exposure in preparation for PRITE and board certification.

The additional six months of the first year, the resident rotates through the adult psychiatric inpatient units. During the inpatient experience, residents learn diagnosis and management of severe mental illness under the supervision of highly qualified faculty. The resident will continue to perfect interviewing and diagnostic skills on the adult inpatient units via direct supervision from the senior resident.

Didactics during the PGY-1 year are focused on the fundamentals of psychiatric pathology, with emphasis on diagnosis and treatment. The core curriculum provides an intensive educational experience in the skills required to be an effective clinical physician.

PGY-2
The PGY-2 resident begins rotations on more specialized inpatient services while beginning longitudinal care for outpatients. Residents rotate through the Alcohol and Drug Recovery Center Unit, the Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program, and the Child and Adolescent Unit. Both inpatient and outpatient experience is gained. The resident is an integral part of the treatment team and receives thorough exposure to multidisciplinary treatment of adult and child psychopathologies.

A significant portion of the PGY-2 year is spent on the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry where residents interface with the departments of medicine and surgery. Residents will round off their experience with rotations in Child Psychiatry, Geropsychiatry and Emergency Psychiatry. Didactics during the PGY-2 year are focused on exposure to psychotherapy theories and fundamentals.

PGY-3
The third year of residency focuses primarily on outpatient care with emphasis on integration of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral, family therapy, group therapy and couples counseling. Weekly longitudinal outpatient clinics started in PGY-2 are also continued. Community mental health and forensic experiences are provided. Residents meet with their medication management and psychotherapy supervisors weekly. Didactics in the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years are focused on advanced topics, such as Forensics, Women’s Health, and Psychosomatics.

PGY-4
During the fourth year, the resident extends training in outpatient care in addition to serving as a senior supervisor on the inpatient adult unit. Teaching responsibilities for the junior residents and medical students are also expected.

PGY-4 residents are able to participate in a variety of electives to help with particular career goals and possible research. Residents are encouraged to seek out weekly specialized clinics such as psycho-oncology, psycho-cardiology, epilepsy, chronic pain, movement disorders, and psychiatric neuromodulation, to solidify areas of interest.

Unique training opportunities and affiliated centers


Alcohol and Drug Recovery Center & Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Center
Alcohol and Drug Recovery Center & Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Center are comprehensive centers designed to accommodate patients with emphasis on total health, including mental, physical, social and spiritual well being. Various degrees of treatment are offered, ranging from inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. Residents spend 1-2 months in each of these centers.

Psychiatric Neuromodulation Center
Psychiatric Neuromodulation Center provides the resident exposure to management of treatment-resistant illnesses. Among the modalities utilized for treatment are Electroconvulsive Therapy and Vagal Nerve Stimulation. Ongoing research in the area of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for intractable psychiatric disorders highlights the novel opportunities for involvement.

Moods Disorders Psychopharmacology Research Unit
Moods Disorders Psychopharmacology Research Unit is an innovative unit which incorporates research and clinical care through a multidisciplinary approach. It is the first program in northeast Ohio to offer both inpatient and outpatient programs dedicated to the treatment of mood disorders. The goal of the program is to provide patients with primary mood disorders, particularly those with higher levels of functioning, the highly specialized treatments they require in a setting conducive to their needs.

Psychotherapy Training - Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program
The psychotherapy training component of the Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program at Cleveland Clinic involves both theoretical and experiential training beginning in the second year of the residency. This prepares each resident for manageable case loads of supervised psychotherapy patients during the third and fourth years. Additionally, residents participate on various psychotherapy rotations as co-therapists. These rotations include evidence-based/cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and marital/family therapy. The goal of psychotherapy training is to produce graduates that can perform effective, prescriptive, informal, and, often, brief forms of psychotherapy in nearly any clinical encounter.

On call information and schedule
The current on call schedule requires PGY-1 residents to take approximately an average of every fifth night on call and PGY-2 residents every eighth night on call. PGY-3 and PGY-4 residents and fellows are presently exempt from night call. A buddy system for incoming residents is used to allow comfort with on-call responsibilities.

Education and curriculum
Didactic conferences take place weekly on dedicated afternoons in 2-hour blocks. PGY-1, PGY-2, and PGY3/4 have separate didactic lecture series to focus on applicable topics relative to their level of training.

All faculty members in the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology actively participate in residency didactics. Multidisciplinary as well as outside speakers are incorporated into the didactic seminars. Presentations are coordinated to ensure comprehensive review. Resident Case Conferences are also held bi-weekly to highlight important cases and educational topics. Other educational activities include weekly Grand Rounds and Journal Clubs.

Research
Research opportunities abound throughout the department and institution. Each resident is required to have an academic project, consisting of a poster presentation and/or journal submission. A number of the trainees choose a research project which they design or which is selected as part of a larger, ongoing study at Cleveland Clinic.

Current and recent trainees have participated in projects on chronic pain, suicide, delirium, pseudo-seizures, ovarian cancer, women's health, sleep disorders, depression post myocardial infarction, and transplant psychiatry. In addition, residents are expected to present at Case Conference annually beginning in the PGY-2. Every year, numerous residents also present at local and national meetings.

Resident Life
Throughout the residency, residents participate in various resident led activities such as journal club, movie club, book club, picnics, and other social events. A residency retreat occurs twice per year. Residents live in many parts of the city and the Cleveland area. In addition, Cleveland Clinic has a vibrant House Staff Association (HSA) and the House Staff Spouse Association (HSSA) that organizes various activities for the residents and their families such as a Halloween party, end of the year celebration, Resident Appreciation Week, etc.
