A model for the Research Track Program (RTP) at Columbia University Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry in partnership with the New York State Psychiatric Institute. The RTP adopts an integrated approach to clinical and research training while maintaining a focus on individual resident needs. The clinical training and research training goals overlap with personal needs as the resident develops his or her own identity as both a clinician and a researcher. A specific focus in translational research experiences within the program bridges clinical and research training. Extensive mentorship and financial support are critical for each component of the model.
