I chose Brown because...

I chose Brown for several reasons: happy and friendly residents, a strong program with a balance between psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, and an amazing city that has art, culture, universities, and the ocean. In the short time I have been here, I already know it was the right choice.

Hello All! With the ordeal of the interview trail fading into the past, there are really three pearls about Brown to pass along to future applicants - . First, the residents here are fantastic- I was looking for a well-rounded group of people, with diverse interests with the time and energy to pursue them.

Michael Wolfe

The one piece of advice I give to applicants, which was also given to me, is "go with your gut." The psychiatry residency at Brown University was definitely the place that felt most right for me when I interviewed. When I was looking for a program I wanted several things: diversity in hospital settings and population of patients,well-rounded and inspiring colleagues, andhappy residents.

Agustin Yip

About me: I was initially drawn to the Brown program because of its dedicated research track (there is an impressive range of research opportunities here), but I have since discovered its many other strengths: the program directors are flexible and responsive to residents'; needs, the teaching is first-rate, and clinical rotations are uniformly excellent across the different sites.

I chose Brown because... When I was applying for residency programs, I knew I wanted to be in one of three regions: the greater Boston area, NYC, or Chicago, having lived at some point in all of them.

Maria Luisa Hincapi

After just four years of being away, I am back for Psychiatry training. It is true what they say Providence really grows on you. It has an amazing diversity of quaint things to do that you really cannot find anywhere else (e.g.

Joshua Kane

One of the things that attracted me to Brown was meeting residents who had traveled a circuitous route to psychiatry. At Brown there are many residents who have had other careers or pursued other interests before going into psychiatry. I think these experiences can only help in making a connection with patients and becoming better doctors. Providence is also a unique blend of city and town.

Jocelyn Kreiss

After graduating from Emory University in 1996, I decided to spend time gathering some clinical experience while applying to graduate programs in clinical psychology. Along with volunteering as a mental health worker in a geriatric day program, I had the opportunity to pursue other interests. A passion for hiking and camping led to work as a backpacking instructor for Outward Bound.

Melissa Ludwig

I have been very happy with my choice of Brown for residency. The program is diverse and interesting, with multiple sites of differing character. The faculty happily view teaching as part of their career, rather than a bother. The residents are competent and dedicated, but not competitive or single-minded.
