Program Overview

Residęncia Médica em Psiquiatria

The Residęncia Médica em Psiquiatria at IPUB/UFRJ originated from the oldest Course of Specialist Training in Psychiatry at the University of Brazil. Initiated in 1969 by Professor José Leme Lopes, then Director of the Faculty of Medicine, the Course of Specialization in Psychiatry (CEP) served as the basis for the development of specific criteria for Residency in the area of Psychiatry, with the promulgation of Decree No. 80,281 on September 5, 1977, which officially created the Medical Residency in Brazil. Over the years, the IPUB's Medical Residency Program has been training specialists from all regions of Brazil.
