Reasons to Choose our Programs
Patients are outstanding teachers: The department’s patient care services offer enormous opportunities for learning given our wealth of clinical programs, and the large and diverse communities that we serve.
Multidisciplinary training is optimal: In addition to developing discipline-specific knowledge and skills, our training programs interact and serve as resources to each other for shared learning.
Comprehensive education requires balanced perspectives: We maintain a careful balance of clinical and theoretical perspectives, which is rooted in our biopsychosocial tradition, when designing all learning experiences.
Lifelong learning and professional development ensure progress: We are committed to continued education and supportive mentoring at all levels, including full-time faculty and community-based faculty and collaborators.
In addition to didactics specific to each training program, our department and professional community offer grand rounds, workshops, and other continuing education events, assuring a vibrant learning environment.
