Where do residents live?

We would like to share with you a glimpse of what it would be like to live in the Elm City. Residency applicants who interview at the program will be taken on a resident guided tour of New Haven, Yale University and the Yale-New Haven Medical Center on the day of their interview.

We believe that the Greater New Haven area is an ideal setting in which to live and gain the knowledge base of a skilled psychiatrist. Here's why: Our city is over 350 years old. It has a rich intellectual and cultural history that makes it extremely diverse. It contains one of the oldest, grandest universities in the Western Hemisphere; as post-doctoral fellows we have access to various Yale University facilities. The people of New Haven are highly ethnically varied with large African-American, Latino, Polish, Irish, Jewish, West Indian, Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, Puerto Rican and other communities. We have many varied geographical micro-environments with a Manhattan-like feel in parts of the downtown, and middle-class suburbia and rolling countryside not 5 minutes away.

We love the diversity of our city because one of our goals is to learn about the ways and whys of human behavior from as many walks of life as possible. It is no wonder that New Haven was chosen as one of the few cities included as a target population in the landmark Epidemiological Catchement Area Study: they found a world renowned psychiatric research, teaching, and clinical care organization in the middle of culturally and socioeconomically diverse, medium sized, American city!

Enough said about being a psychiatric resident here. What of just being a resident of New Haven? Just browse the follwing tour guide and see for yourself!
