Duke offers psychiatry residents a holistic education with strengths in both biological psychiatry and psychotherapy. Residents provide care to an incredibly diverse patient population and work at a wide array of clinical sites. We have a robust didactic curriculum taught by leaders in the field. Our residency community is diverse, tight-knit, and supportive, and we view strong mentorship and resident wellness as essential parts of the residency training experience.
