Program directors are the proverbial "boss" of a training program. While they may not be engaged with residents and fellows on a daily basis, their input and expertise is what makes or breaks the culture of a program. So what should trainees look for in a program director when deciding to choose or rank a program? Dr.Lindsay Poplinski, a PGY2 in psychiatry at Ohio Riverside Methodist Hospital, shares her insight into the qualities that trainees look for in a program director and what future trainees can do to ensure that they choose the program that is right for them.
In this episode we discuss the following:
- The link between the culture of wellness within a program and the precedent set by the PD.
- Research-backed qualities and characteristics that trainees hold in high regard when evaluating their PD.
- How and why a PD can "make or break" the psychiatric training experience.
- What future trainees can do to ensure that their values are in line with the program of their choosing.
