PROGRAM

The Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Training Program (HLPRTP) is a four-year program in general psychiatry accredited by the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education. It is sponsored by the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and by three institutions - Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the Massachuestts Mental Health Center. It has its major clinical rotations at these sites as well as at two other facilities-Faulkner Hospital and Children's Hospital, all of which are located either in the Longwood Medical Area or within a radius of a few miles of Harvard Medical School. Fifteen residents are accepted into each year of the program. The program builds on the long and rich traditions of all the participating institutions. For decades, two of the institutions, Beth Israel Hospital (now part of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) and Massachusetts Mental Health Center, have offered residencies of their own until joining HLPRTP. Brigham and Women's Hospital and Faulkner Hospital have offered rotations, teachers, courses, and fellowships for residents in other Harvard programs for many years.
