There are half-day seminars on Wednesday afternoons during the PGY-1 year. PGY-2 and PGY-3 seminars run the entire day on Wednesdays. These constitute the program's comprehensive didactic seminar series. It is organized into adult, geriatric, and child psychopathology sections, as well as psychotherapeutic and neuroscience blocks. PGY-4 and PGY-5 residents have Wednesday afternoons available for self-directed learning. Academic time is considered to be protected time and therefore residents are excused from clinical duties to attend. These seminars run from September through June. A Wednesday Summer Seminar Series has also been introduced consisting of more informal activities including a resident well-being day, and a multicultural day.
