The faculty in the Division of Psychology at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offer an academic program unparalleled with regard to our dedication to each intern's professional growth and personal development. We are committed to creating and maintaining an atmosphere consistent with the finest tradition of post-doctoral education: self-determination.

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has an established reputation for delivering the highest quality clinical care and for training psychology interns and fellows, and psychiatry residents and fellows. Ours is a vibrant, extremely active academic medical center — one of the busiest hospitals in the country. Many applicants know Montefiore from the news reports on the successful neurosurgery conducted on the conjoined Aguirre twins. But we are proud of so much of what Montefiore offers, including a beautiful new Children's Hospital and a large widespread primary care network throughout the Bronx. Of particular importance to intern applicants, our Department is consistently ranked by US News & World Report among the top hospital Departments of Psychiatry in the nation.

In our academic community, an enthusiastic and collegial faculty provides cutting edge innovations in clinical practice, empirically-supported approaches, and psychopathological research without compromising time-tested wisdom and clinical lore. Intellectual freedom in a tolerant "family" atmosphere is the honored tradition at Montefiore. Academic excellence, personal diversity, and individual attention to interns' professional and formational needs are the central tenets of our program. As Sartre says, "We are made of our choices." I wish you luck in your next choice, where you will be best prepared for your future career and personal life.
