Seamlessly combining the wisdom of seasoned leaders in psychiatry residency and fellowship training with the perspective of current residents-in-training, The Psychiatry Resident Handbook offers insights and guidance readers will not easily find in any other resource.

An opening description of the state of mental health care in the United States serves as a foundation from which the guide proceeds to address topics in five key areas: • Identity, including trainees' gender and sexual identities, as well as the experience of individuals from underrepresented communities in medicine and international medical graduates• Clinical practice, from working with historically oppressed patient populations to telehealth and legal and ethical issues• Skill-building, including working with technology and social media, developing as a leader, publishing research, and engaging in advocacy• Career development, with discussions of mentorship and sponsorship, finding a first job, and board certification• Managing both a career and personal life, including recognizing and mitigating burnout, addressing mistreatment and discrimination, and navigating personal finances

Chapters feature key points that preview the content; specific challenges and strategies in which content is applied to real-life scenarios; self-directed questions that spur reflection and professional identity development; and recommended resources that include psychiatric, medical, business, and other literature, as well as relevant websites and online materials.

For guidance on how to successfully navigate training and pursue a fulfilling personal life, medical students, psychiatry residents, fellows and psychiatry educators will not find a more comprehensive resource than The Psychiatry Resident Handbook.
