The Geriatric Psychiatry Residency Program at the VA San Diego Healthcare System (VASDHS) and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is offering two one-year, VA-funded, full-time positions beginning July 1, 2006. This ACGME accredited, PGY-V residency is intended for psychiatrists who have recently completed their residency and have interest in an academic career in geriatric psychiatry.  Residents learn the fundamentals of clinical geriatric psychiatry in both outpatients and inpatients.  Residents are immersed in a rich variety of formal and informal educational experiences, including journal clubs and research seminars and lectures. In addition, the residency provides a valuable clinical experience not only in caring for patients, but also in dealing with the special clinical and administrative issues.  Stipends are currently $48,448.  The VASDHS and UCSD are equal opportunity employers.
