RESIDENTS & FACULTY
UW-Madison’s residency program in psychiatry draws upon the expertise of
40 full-time faculty and 110 clinical faculty. Our goal is to meet residents’
interests while building their skills through diverse training opportunities.
Our faculty provide a balance of training, from basic science to clinical
psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. The department has approximately eight
new residents per year and a number of fellowships.
Department Residents
Our goal is to bring together residents with diverse backgrounds and
outstanding academic performance in collegial learning environment.
One measure of the success of our residents is their performance on
their psychiatry board certification exams. In order to become a board-certified
psychiatrist, one must pass Part I (written) and Part II (oral) of
the boards. Of our residents who have taken the boards, 99% passed
Part I (92% on the first attempt) and 91% passed Part II (81% on the
first attempt).

What do our graduates do?
Graduates of the UW Psychiatry Residency are well prepared for a career in psychiatry anywhere in the U.S., and even abroad. We survey our alumni
regularly to determine what they are doing and where they're doing it. Our most recent survey showed that:
- Almost all graduates (97%) are providing direct clinical care. Many are also involved in education (43%) and administration (53%). Nearly a quarter are doing research (and that's before our adding the Research Track!) Nearly half (45%) provide subspecialty care, including the care of children & adolescents, and older adults.
- Graduates practice in a variety of settings: private practice (30%), academia (20%), HMO or group practice (20%), public sector (10%), state hospitals (10%), VA (7%).
- While most graduates (59%) stay in Wisconsin, others have moved across the U.S. to California, Florida, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont and Virginia. A few are overseas (Iceland, Germany).
