Welcome to the NJMS Department of Psychiatry, where our diverse team of highly skilled clinicians and staff work together to promote a culture of quality, safety, diversity, equity, and inclusion across everything we do. We deliver state-of-the-art psychiatric care to our patients through our inpatient and outpatient services and expand our work beyond our campus through funded research and community outreach.

Medical education at all levels remains at the center of our department’s mission which is to train the new generation of mental health leaders through model residency and fellowship programs and to educate our medical students to become highly competent and genuinely compassionate healers.
