The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training. The Psychiatry Residency has been fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
In the past five years, nearly 75% of our graduates went on to fellowships and the remainder entered clinical practices; including academic and private practice settings. Our goal is to give our residents a solid foundation from which they may choose to step into any of the three arenas represented by the Mayo Clinic logo: academics, research, and clinical practice.

Recent alumni reflect on their experience in the Psychiatry Residency at Mayo Clinic.

I was drawn to psychiatry because it is inherently and profoundly patient-focused One of the things I love about Mayo is that it takes its commitment to patient care seriously, and that meant a lot to me.
Whitney Evans, M.D., Ph.D.
Graduate
I started residency with clinical experience in the U.K. and Australia. In addition to building my clinical abilities, I pursued research projects in an area of interest I had identified while on the child and adolescent inpatient unit. The program, combined with invested mentors, expanded my research knowledge and enabled me to publish and present around the world.
Reem Shafi, M.B.B.S.
2019 graduate
I’ve really enjoyed seminars in the Psychiatry Residency. We had structured didactics to learn about psychotherapy and pharmacology, but then we also had time set aside to discuss what it means to be a doctor and a psychiatrist. We discussed everything from neuroscience to philosophy, and they really helped me come to terms with all of the 'grey' in our field.
Keith Miller, M.D.
2020 graduate
My favorite part of training at Mayo Clinic is the relationships I've built with my co-residents. From early on during our intern year we started going to trivia nights every week and having regular get-togethers. It was fun getting to know my colleagues outside of work. It really helped build our teamwork at work as well.

Everyone cares about you as a person. During my interview I felt that every individual I met wanted to get to know me as a person, and not just as a potential resource to help run a busy psychiatry service. As an intern, I feel supported and cared about by my fellow residents as well as by the consultants (attendings) and by the program’s administration.
Janice Malay, M.D.
Graduate
The program has incredible breadth and depth. Adult inpatient, medical-psychiatry, emergency psychiatry, consult-liaison, child and adolescent — you get to do everything!
