Welcome to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s Psychiatry Residency Training program!   I am thrilled that you have chosen our institution for your Psychiatric training.  AtlantiCare is dedicated to education, performance excellence and comprehensive clinical care.  The organization has won numerous awards including the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and 4 consecutive magnet designations.  US News and World Report ranks AtlantiCare 5th in the region.  

My passion is teaching and our faculty are committed to teaching and creating a nurturing environment to facilitate your scholarly growth as you care for our diverse patient population.  Our top priority is to ensure that our residents become outstanding psychiatrists.  While we are a newer program, we have been involved in resident education for over 30 years.  Our faculty are dedicated to training the next generation of highly skilled psychiatrists who will care for our community with compassion. We look for residents who are also passionate teachers to help further the growth of our medical students.  The residency curriculum has been designed to provide you with a wide range of treatment modalities, varied clinical sub-specialty experiences and one to one mentoring.  Our former residents have become faculty, gone to successful fellowships, and have entered a diverse number of geographic and practice locales.   

Southern New Jersey is a wonderful place to train and work.  We have many beautiful beaches in the area.  Atlantic City has a rich history dating back to 1921, as the home of the Miss America pageant.   It’s a vibrant city full of diverse cultures and restaurants.   Whether you live off shore or along the coast to the beautiful and historic Cape May area you are sure to find respite from our sandy beaches and the warm ocean breeze.  There are many excellent entertainment options in the area and Philadelphia and New York City are a short drive away.  

As a trainee at our program, you will interact with many interdisciplinary teams including our fantastic internal medicine faculty and residents, our beloved neurology faculty, and our terrific family medicine faculty and residents.  Thank you for your interest in our General Psychiatry Residency at AtlantiCare.   

Welcome to AtlantiCare.
