Four things worth knowing,
before your first patient.

What arrives each morning

1. Psychiatric research article

   One paper from the last one to three months — AJP, JAMA Psychiatry, Lancet Psychiatry, World Psychiatry — summarized in plain language, with an explicit "why it matters clinically."

2. General medicine article

   Something from outside psychiatry — NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, BMJ — chosen because it connects back: metabolic and cardiac effects of psychotropics, medical comorbidity, brain–body links.

3. Psychiatric fact

   Aimed at a senior resident, not board-review trivia. Pharmacokinetic subtleties, augmentation strategy, monitoring thresholds and the reasoning behind them — the nuance that actually changes management.

4. Psychotherapy teaching pearl

   Weighted toward psychodynamic technique, because this program is. Projective identification and containment, enactments, rupture-and-repair, TFP's clarification–confrontation–interpretation sequence — each with a concrete vignette showing the technique and the reasoning behind it.
