Fort Lee resident Meaghan Casey recently graduated from the Psychiatry Residency Program at Bergen Regional Medical Center (BRMC). This residency program, which admits only one-percent of applicants, is one of the most extensive psychiatry residency programs in the county. Dr. Casey is one of nine residents graduating this term.

"Congratulations to our newest group of psychiatry residency graduates and we wish them the best as they begin their new journey as behavioral health care specialists,” said BRMC President Joseph S. Orlando. “As a teaching hospital, Bergen Regional is pleased to provide this service for emerging health care professionals as well as continuing education programs for established health care professionals.”

The BRMC Psychiatry Residency Program is designed to give participants experience in all areas of adult and child psychiatry, the ability to interact with diverse patient populations and establish a foundation of knowledge for future specialization. Residents learn to diagnose and treat all types of psychiatric patients with illnesses ranging from adjustment disorders to more acute conditions.
