Are you interested in Community Psychiatry?

We are excited to announce that AtlantiCare received funding from the State of New Jersey for two additional residency positions to address the shortage of Psychiatrists in New Jersey.  We will provide you with extensive experience in the public behavioral health system working at our Federally Qualified Health Center with individuals in the community who have serious mental illness or a serious mental illness with a co-occurring behavioral health condition such as substance use disorder, intellectual disability or developmental disability. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in Community Psychiatry in the Atlantic County area.

Welcome to AtlantiCare’s Psychiatry Residency Training Program!

  
AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center is a fully ACGME accredited Psychiatry Residency Training Progam.  We are dedicated to training residents, teaching medical students and building healthy communities together. We are committed to providing trainees with the highest quality graduate medical education training that will prepare you to become our next generation of board certified Psychiatrists.  

The AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center is a community-based teaching hospital.  The ARMC has a state of the art psychiatric inpatient unit.  It’s compliant with the highest level of patient safety and provides a comfortable healing space for our patients.  The unit is equipped with a calming room, music room, art therapy room and our wonderful mental health staff, nurses, social workers and dedicated teaching attendings.  Our outpatient continuity clinics are located a few blocks from our city campus and throughout our Mainland campus.  Residents will have the opportunity to manage a wide variety of psychiatric illnesses from culturally diverse and socioeconomic patient populations.

Focus on Education

  • All Psychiatric services have one to one supervision with our faculty. 
  • At ARMC we work together to ensure collaborative care.  We have fully integrated disciplinary teams and supportive hospital leadership.   
  • Weekly protected didactic time. Our very own program director Brian Isaacson, MD, MBA was recently awarded the 2019 Faculty Teaching Award from Cooper University Hospital.

Focus on our Community

  • At our city campus the Psychiatric Intervention Program (PIP)  is the only crisis response center providing screening for all of Atlantic County including children.  Residents are always on-call with a dedicated attending.
  • Our services range from child to adult partial programs.
  • Program for Assertive Community Training (PACT)
  • Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).   A Medicare and Medicaid program that helps people meet their health care needs in the community instead of going to a nursing home or other care facility.
