What Makes Inspira’s Psychiatry Residency Unique

Inspira’s Psychiatry Residency provides residents with learning opportunities that integrate and incorporate various patient care experiences and advanced practice settings across South Jersey. With comprehensive curricula and dedicated faculty, our residency programs focus on industry-leading research, cutting-edge treatment methods and safe, high-quality patient care.

Our program offers a wealth of resources, expert faculty and a supportive institution invested in the growth of our residents. We embrace a holistic approach, thinking through a bio-psycho-social lens. We train our residents to treat people first—not just diseases or conditions. By providing a helpful network, a foundational education and a balance between supervision and autonomy, we tailor our program to meet the needs of our residents, patients and staff.

We serve a population with significant mental health needs, and our residents get exposed to a very diverse pathology in a rural setting. Our program provides front-line psychiatric care to patients who may otherwise go without treatment. As a resident, you will have the opportunity to become a leader and pioneer in mental health for all of South Jersey and beyond, working in an intimate setting with our accomplished faculty who can help you grow into the best version of yourself.

Curriculum

The Psychiatry Residency offers a robust curriculum and access to experienced, supportive faculty in convenient locations throughout South Jersey. Each specialty program includes weekly didactics, attending and guest lecturers, clinical experiences and sessions in our procedure labs and simulation center.

Our weekly didactic sessions are held each Wednesday except for holidays. These sessions are protected time for trainees and involve various formats, including faculty-taught lectures, resident-run lectures, hospital/departmental/state grand rounds, journal clubs and case conferences. Our didactic curriculum is shared with the Rowan-Virtua Residency, and all residents have access to the Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine library.

Our curriculum goals revolve around providing the highest quality educational experiences and proper mentoring to all residents while fostering intellectual curiosity and diverse learning methods. We aim to train well-rounded physicians equipped to handle the health care demands of the 21st century; continuously evolve and incorporate new training methods; learn from the latest research and make evidence-based medicine the foundation of our practice; encourage good citizenship in the health care community; and advocate for the physical and mental well-being of all patients in our community, regardless of gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
