Call schedule
- PGY-3 call averages 15 days per year on the psychosomatic medicine service (PSM).

- During the PGY-3 year residents do not rotate. For PGY-3s, the clinic follows a private practice model whereby each resident has a caseload of patients and accepts additional patients throughout the year.
- The PGY-3 year emphasizes ample exposure to child psychiatry for those interested in gaining early exposure to child and adolescent practice.
- The PGY-3 year focuses on learning the more nuanced aspects of being a psychiatrist, such as applying psychoanalytic principles, psychodynamic therapy, and other therapy modalities.
