UCSF Psychiatry Residency Training Program named among best in U.S. by physicians
The UCSF Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program offers a four-year training opportunity across four main training sites in San Francisco: the UCSF Nancy Friend Pritzker Psychiatry Building (left) adjacent to the UCSF Mission Bay campus, Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital (top right) on the UCSF Parnassus Heights campus, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (center right), and the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center (bottom right).
The UCSF Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program (RTP) has once again been noted as one of the top psychiatry residency programs in the nation, according to new data released on July 21, 2023, by physician social networking site Doximity.
UCSF’s program was ranked 4th among all U.S. psychiatric residency programs in Doximity’s 2023-2024 Residency Navigator, moving up one spot from its previous position. It is the top program in the nation at a public university, first among psychiatric residency programs in California and the western United States, and one of two University of California system schools in the top ten.
In addition, the training program placed in the top five among those planning to go onto fellowships in seven separate subspecialty fields (addiction psychiatry, brain injury medicine, child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and psychosomatic medicine), as well as 7th nationally for alumni research output.
Earlier this year, UCSF’s psychiatry program was ranked 4th in the nation (and first among public universities) by U.S. News and World Report in their annual listing of the best graduate and professional schools.
First launched in 2014, the Doximity Residency Navigator is an interactive tool designed to help the next generation of doctors research and compare residency training programs nationwide. This year, the site collected over 300,000 reviews and ratings from more than 125,000 verified current residents and recent alumni for programs offering the best clinical training in 28 medical specialties.
Nominations for psychiatry residency programs were accepted from physicians certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. To compile their rankings, Doximity used a combination of current resident and recent alumni satisfaction data, reputation among board-certified physicians, research output metrics, and other objective data points. The results of the past three years of nomination surveys were pooled in order to calculate reputation.
As a whole, UCSF maintained its standing as one of the national leaders in medical education, with 16 specialty residencies earning top 10 rankings and three (neurological surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and radiology) being selected as the best in their respective fields. The full results of the study are available for any U.S. physician or medical student to access at doximity.com/residency.
