Residency Life
Annual Resident Retreat
Each year, the entire residency program goes to Palm Springs for a departmental retreat. Attendance is required for all residents. Residents are excused from all clinical duties during this time. This is a great chance for residents to bond and to discuss major issues that need to be addressed over the course of the coming year.  In recent years we have infused tradition into our yearly retreat with activities such as the talent show and the hike to San Jacinto Peak.

Annual Faculty/Alumni/Resident Retreat
Each year, there is an optional retreat to which all residents, faculty, and alumni are invited. In previous years, destinations have included places such as Fiji, Switzerland, Portugal and Bora Bora.

Resident Meetings
Resident meetings are held on the first Friday of the month at noon.  Lunch is provided. This is the time for residents to meet with their chief residents in order to discuss active issues. This regular meeting time allows changes to be implemented.

 

Clinical Case Conference & Resident/Faculty Meeting
This is held on the third Friday of the month at noon.  Lunch is provided. In addition to the educational component of the meeting, this time allows residents to discuss issues with the residency director and teaching attendings. 

"UCI was my first choice for many reasons.  Not only are the residents here happy and extremely supportive of one another, the attending staff are approachable, knowledgeable and remember what it is like being a resident.  Our residency director is always available and proactive in implementing changes to make us more comfortable and make our experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible.  I am very pleased with my decision and proud to be part of one of the best psychiatry residency programs in the nation."
