Former Chief Resident
"As a chief resident, I was able to hone my pedagogical and administrative skills; I feel honored to have contributed to the education of our trainees. I look forward to the impact our residents will make as they grow as clinicians and leaders. After graduation, I plan to work as an inpatient psychiatrist in my home state of New York."
Former Chief Resident
"During my time as chief resident, I have had the incredible privilege of working alongside a dedicated and inspiring team of faculty and residents. This leadership role has allowed me to contribute meaningfully to the department's mission of bridging gaps in mental healthcare, particularly by reducing stigma and addressing health disparities. My time in this position has deepened my passion for psychiatry, especially in advocating for marginalized communities and supporting my fellow residents in their growth as clinicians. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my journey with a focus on interventional psychiatry, where I see tremendous opportunities to further impact the lives of my patients."
