Leaders in Psychiatry: Training Pioneers in Clinical Care, Research, Education, and Public Policy
Welcome to the UCSF Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program website! We hope you find all the information you need on this site, but if you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected].
Our residency program offers a four-year training opportunity across three main training sites in San Francisco: Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG), the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center (SFVAMC Mental Health Services), the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences' Nancy Friend Pritzker Psychiatry Building on the UCSF Mission Bay campus. In addition to these three sites, residents also do rotations within the UCSF Medical Center on the UCSF Parnassus, Mount Zion, and Mission Bay campuses.
Our training includes the biological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects of psychiatry and strives to prepare residents for successful careers emphasizing clinical practice, scholarship, teaching, and research. Information about the UCSF School of Medicine is here, and information about Graduate Medical Education at UCSF is here.
