There are several different pathways through our program:
Traditional Track – Residents without prior residency training start at the PGY1 level and complete 4 years of training.
Advanced Track – Residents who have had least one year of prior residency experience start at the PGY1 level and graduate at the end of the PGY3 level. They are compensated as PGY2-4s, depending on prior experience.
Clinical Educator Track – Residents enter this track as PGY2s in order to develop their skills as educators via mentorship and developing an education innovation project.
Community Psychiatry Track – This track is currently in the process of being reviewed and revamped.
Rural Public Health Track – Through a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Human Services, we were able to expand our residency and to offer a Rural Public Health Track. This track allows resident in their PGY1-4 years to pursue a number of activities around the state, with the goal of learning how to provide mental health care to underserved populations around the State of Wisconsin.
All tracks fulfill American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology requirements for certification in general psychiatry.
Residency
The Clinical Educator Track is designed to provide educational training for residents interested in academic medicine, teaching, and leadership in medical education. This focused program offers faculty mentorship, teaching opportunities, and the change to develop a scholarly educational project addressing a real need in psychiatric training or practice.
Residents apply at the beginning of PGY2 and work closely with a faculty mentor throughout the program. Each participant designs and completes a project that contributes to the field of medical education. This may culminate in presentations at local or national conferences. Residents may use available elective time to further their project and are eligible for travel funding to support academic presentations.
By the end of the track, residents will have gained valuable experience in curriculum development, educational research, and leadership, preparing them for future roles as clinician educators or academic administrators.
