The Yale Department of Psychiatry Residency Program has ranked third nationally in Doximity’s 2025-26 Residency Navigator program.
The Residency Navigator is a comprehensive directory of residency programs in the United States created by Doximity, an online networking service for medical professionals.
The Yale Psychiatry Residency Program has consistently ranked among the top U.S. residency programs in the poll, with results determined by peer nominations, ratings, and hand-written reviews.
“Our departmental education mission is at the core of everything that we do,” said John H. Krystal, MD, Robert L. McNeil, Jr. Professor of Translational Research and professor of psychiatry, of neuroscience, and of psychology, and chair of the Yale Department of Psychiatry.
“Our commitment to education is paralleled by the exceptional young psychiatrists who train at Yale,” Krystal said. “Each year, we select 18 trainees from nearly 1,500 applicants. They do extraordinary things during their training experiences and go on to become leaders in the field. It is wonderful to see that others acknowledge the quality and impact of our educational community.”
"The success of the residency also reflects our excellent teaching faculty, the support of our training sites, and our office of education," said John Cahill, BMBS, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and director of the Yale Psychiatry Residency Program.
Yale’s psychiatry residency program numbers 86 residents who enjoy on-the-job training experiences, mentorship, and individualized education planning among many other educational and clinical opportunities.
