Stony Brook Medicine/University Hospital Program

The Stony Brook Medicine Psychiatry Residency Program requires applicants to have graduated from a medical school in the United States or Canada accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) or from a college of osteopathic medicine in the United States accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). For graduates of medical schools outside of the United States or Canada, additional qualifications are specified, including being a US citizen, permanent resident, having employment authorization identification (EAD), or having a J-1 visa sponsored by ECFMG.

The program emphasizes the Equal Employment Opportunity and the Americans with Disability Act and considers applicants based on residency program-related criteria, including academic credentials, communication skills, and personal qualities such as motivation and integrity. Residency appointment is contingent upon demonstrating successful completion of specified exams.

The program's selection committee conducts interviews to assess candidates based on various qualities such as high intelligence, excellence in written and verbal self-expression, curiosity about human behavior, comprehension, and psychological mindedness.

Failure in basic or clinical sciences or on USMLE examinations may affect the invitation for an interview. Therefore, applicants are encouraged to demonstrate strong academic performance and communication skills in their applications.

For international medical graduates, satisfying additional qualifications specified by the program is crucial for consideration. The program does not sponsor H1B visas for GME training but may support J-1 visas sponsored by ECFMG.
