Training with
Intention
We aim to foster an environment where each member of our department feels seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Our commitment is to help every resident become an exceptional physician—bringing their authentic self to the work of healing and care, to moments of discovery, and to the relationships that make this work meaningful.
"It’s a place that challenges you to become the unique psychiatrist you want to be. Brigham gives you the time, freedom and resources to shape your training in the direction you choose while also learning from the best in the field."

-Kabir Nigam, MD, PGY4
Recruiting with Purpose
We are committed to recruiting residents who embody the values that define our program: integrity, humility, hard work, curiosity, kindness, flexibility, motivation, teamwork, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
​​
We look for individuals who bring these values into action—those ready to care for patients with varying needs, life circumstances, and levels of complexity. We seek future psychiatrists who are prepared to navigate the evolving landscape of medicine with insight, resilience, and a deep commitment to the purpose and responsibility of this work.
​
​Our recruitment process reflects this mission. We approach each application with fairness and care, considering the whole of an applicant’s path rather than relying on narrow benchmarks or standardized cutoffs. Throughout the recruitment season, applicants will have opportunities to connect informally with our community and learn what it means to train here—at a place that values who you are, how you think, and what you’re striving to become.
