Are you looking to get into the psychiatry residency program of your dreams? We’ve got you covered! Here, we’ll give you the inside scoop on which psychiatry programs have the highest and lowest publications, MD-PhDs, AOA, and Gold Humanism members among matched applicants. So, if you’re curious about psychiatry or have a specific program in mind, you can learn all the details you need to maximize your chances of becoming a psychiatrist.

Which Psychiatry Residency Programs Require the Most Research?

As discussed previously, matched psychiatry applicants have comparatively lower numbers of abstracts, presentations, and publications.

But how many publications are expected of each psychiatry residency? Here, we’ll discuss which programs have the most – and fewest – publications among their residents. That way, you can make an informed decision and feel hopeful about getting into the program that’s right for you.

Let’s look at which psychiatry residency programs have the most – and least – publications among their members. (NOTE: the data here report the Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants. This is more narrow – and restrictive – than the “abstracts, presentations, and publications,” measure found on ERAS and reported by the Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.)

Which Psychiatry Residency Programs Have the Most MD-PhDs?

Are you hoping to get into a psychiatry residency program? Having an MD-PhD may help you stand out, but it’s not always necessary.

As noted previously, having an MD-PhD is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into psychiatry as a specialty. It’s worth noting the advantage is relatively small (~3% match rate increase for those with a PhD vs. those without).

Check out this list of psychiatry residency programs in the US and their MD-PhD percentages.

Psychiatry Programs with the Highest Percentage of MD-PhDs

Here are the psychiatry programs with the highest reported % of residents who were graduates of MD-PhD programs:

  • National Institutes of Health Clinical Center Program (50%)
  • Nova Southeastern University – College of Osteopathic Medicine (Bay Pines) Program (33%)
  • University of Pennsylvania Health System Program (24%)
  • University of California (San Francisco) Program (20%)
  • New York Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia Campus)/New York State Psychiatric Institute Programm (20%)
  • UPMC Medical Education Program (20%)
  • Stanford Health Care-Sponsored Stanford University Program (15%)

Psychiatry Programs with the Lowest Percentage of MD-PhDs

While having an MD-PhD can give you a leg up on matching into psychiatry, note that there are many (many) programs without an MD-PhD among their residents. In fact, there were only 58 programs that reported having any graduates from MD-PhD programs.

Which Psychiatry Programs Have the Most AOA and Gold Humanism Honor Society Members?

Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) memberships are two important factors in the psychiatry residency matching process. AOA recognizes students and residents who excel academically, in leadership, and in professionalism, while GHHS recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional qualities in patient-centered care and humanism.

As noted before, AOA membership is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into psychiatry.

Here we list the US psychiatry residency programs and the % of their residents who were AOA or GHHS members. Note you can search for individual programs, sort the data, and many other useful things in your psychiatry residency search.

Psychiatry Programs with the Most and Least AOA and GHHS Members

The psychiatry residency programs with the highest reported percentage of AOA members are:

  • University of North Carolina Hospitals Program
  • Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital Program
  • Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School Program
  • Butler Hospital/Brown University Program
  • Yale-New Haven Medical Center Program

The psychiatry residency programs with the lowest reported percentage of AOA members are:

  • Creighton University School of Medicine (Phoenix) Program
  • University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix Program
  • University of Alabama Medical Center Program
  • Temple University Hospital Program
  • Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Program
Are AOA Numbers Artificially Low in the Most Competitive Psychiatry Residency Programs?

As we can see above, while AOA and GHHS membership can be beneficial, it’s not necessarily a critical factor in being accepted into a psychiatry residency program.

For example, the Harvard dermatology program only had 28% of its residents with AOA membership and only 20% with GHHS membership. (The Harvard psychiatry program is Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital Program and Brigham and Women’s Hospital).

So, why might some of the most competitive psychiatry residency programs have fewer AOA and GHHS members? One potential explanation is that some of the most prestigious medical schools don’t have AOA chapters. For example, the medical schools at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and UCSF all lack AOA chapters.

Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that AOA and GHHS membership can be important factors in getting accepted into a psychiatry residency program. However, they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of other ways to make your application stand out, such as having strong USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and a well-crafted personal statement.

Concluding Thoughts

Publications; AOA and GHHS membership; and having a PhD can all benefit an application into psychiatry. However, as we can see, there are different psychiatry residency programs that have different expectations as to what they are looking for in applicants.
