Hello,
I am Dr. Diana Paez and I would like to welcome you to the Psychiatry Residency at CIFC Health, a 4-year ACGME accredited program in Danbury, Connecticut that emphasizes outpatient care and community health. As the Psychiatry Residency Program Director, I know that the decision of where to apply for your residency can be daunting, and I appreciate your decision to consider CIFC Health. CIFC Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center serving over 16,000 patients. We take pride in ensuring that our residents receive the highest quality education that is most relevant to the day-to-day practice of a psychiatrist in a community setting, preparing them to both immediately lead a behavioral health team and be leaders in the field following their graduation.
At CIFC Health, we recognize that the wellbeing of our practitioners is directly related to the quality of care that they are able to provide. We strive to provide a resident experience that provides more than just an education on treating patients; placing an additional focus on practices that promote self-care and prevent burnout among doctors. By choosing to join the Psychiatry Residency at CIFC Health, you can be assured that you are choosing a program whose faculty prioritizes you as an individual, rather than just a student or doctor, and emphasizes that practitioner well-being is as important as patient treatment.
Thank you for your interest in the Psychiatry Residency at CIFC Health. We are a new program committed to learning together and offering evidence-based and culturally informed care to our community! Please click around to learn more. We hope you'll choose to apply.
Sincerely,
Dr. Diana Paez, MD
CIFC Health
Psychiatry Residency Director
