The Residency Program in Psychiatry always attempts to convey a sense of perspective. Proper devotion to family and fun are as important to the resident's growth as attention to the curriculum. Residents organize a Literature Seminar, meeting at residents' homes in the evening to discuss works of nonscientific literature. Faculty frequently host social events at their homes. A yearly residents' retreat serves to consolidate group cohesion while addressing administrative opportunities.
