Resident Representatives
Reach out to our resident representatives with any questions about our program or living in the Twin Cities. Our residents are available to discuss various topics, including medical student education, fun activities in the Twin Cities, and being a person of faith in psychiatry.
They can also provide insights on what it’s like to be a psychiatry resident who is an international medical graduate, a first-generation physician, a person of faith in psychiatry, and part of a couple in residency. They can tell you more about leadership opportunities during residency and achieving work-life balance for residents with children. Additionally, our representatives can offer support on transitioning to Minnesota.
For more information, please contact [email protected] and we will be happy to connect you with a resident.
