What I love most about New Orleans?

The food; there are always new restaurants to try. There is always something fun going on, from live music to festivals to art markets. The people are friendly and always finding an excuse to have a good time. I love the culture, the weirdness, oh and the architecture is pretty cool too.

What I love most about Tulane’s Psychiatry Program?

Everyone is so friendly and inclusive it feels like a family. The attendings are great to work with, nice and encouraging and passionate about teaching. We get to work with a unique patient population including everyone who comes through the state hospital, as well as Veterans at the VA. A lot of people in the program have an interest in Psychotherapy.
