The BUMC Psychiatry Residency program has three extracurricular pathways for residents interested in additional training and scholarly work, including the Global, Local, and Cultural Psychiatry Pathway led by Dr. Micaela Owusu. A resident on the Global-Local Pathway attends didactics on cultural psychiatry then uses these constructs to contribute to culturally-specific projects in mental health understanding or practice either locally, globally, or both. They are encouraged to participate in collaborations that are longitudinal and bidirectional. They are assigned a mentor with expertise in global or local cultural psychiatry to assist them with honing their project skills and developing career goals.
