Resident Life

Night Call

Residents are assigned night call on either the Einstein Medical Center or Belmont Center campus. We believe night call can be a learning experience in independent thinking and emergency psychiatry.

The resident on call is responsible for covering the inpatient psychiatry units and for providing consultations to the medicine and surgery floors. The call frequency decreases during training, with residents playing a major role in designing the call policies.

Resident calls are in compliance with the ACGME duty hour regulations.

Resident Support

As a psychiatry resident at Einstein Medical Center you'll have the opportunity to take part in a residents' support group, bimonthly resident meetings and an annual resident retreat. We provide a generous yearly book allowance and paid conference attendance. We also provide reimbursement for personal psychotherapy and a medical school loan payback allowance. Our steady expansion has allowed us to regularly provide positions for some of our graduates to join our staff.

Resident Teaching

Residents develop their skills in psychiatry by teaching Thomas Jefferson University medical students during their required third-year rotations on psychiatry, and fourth-year electives. The third-year student six-week rotation includes three-week rotations on two of the following clinical services:

  • Inpatient psychiatry
  • Emergency psychiatry
  • Consultation liaison psychiatry
  • Adolescent inpatient psychiatry
  • Addictions psychiatry
