Interested PGY 4s may be paired with a faculty member to teach psychotherapy courses offered to junior residents.

PIP residents are invited to be guest members of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, which includes access to BPSI psychoanalyst mentors, a subscription to the PEP-web (Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing), and special evening and weekend lectures at BPSI.

And the Program does this in a very personal way, with lots of contact between PiP faculty and residents.
