Medical students from several universities complete their core rotation in Psychiatry at St. John's Episcopal Hospital. The residents will be expected to assume an active role in teaching. We also provide a very comprehensive didactic schedule and many teaching conferences.

As a supplement to our broad range of clinical experience, the Psychiatry Program offers an extensive conference schedule. Our bi-weekly medical Grand Rounds often feature eminent speakers from major medical centers. We also provide a monthly Basic Science Conference.

Residents at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital are actively participating in QI and Safety projects. Participation in research is strongly encouraged.

The ancillary services provided at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital are extensive and efficient. These include 24 hour per day phlebotomy, transporter services and EKG team.
