Postgraduate Years (PGY) 2-3

PGY-2

The PGY2 year consists of 12 months of general adult psychiatry, with six months each in the inpatient (hospital) and outpatient (ambulatory) settings.  Psychotherapy training will be integrated into the PGY2 year, with CBT and Group Therapies emphasized.  This year will be spent at both Royal Columbian Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital. Call requirements are the same across all UBC sites. Again, there are 4 weeks of vacation available each academic year, along with 5 days of paid conference leave.
