About

Welcome to the Psychiatry Student Interest Group Network. The Psychiatry Student Interest Group Network (PsychSIGN) is a national network of medical students interested in psychiatry, from those with a rough interest in the brain and mind to those already in the residency application and match process. We connect students across the country to their peers, to psychiatry residents, and to practicing psychiatrists from a broad range of subspecialties. We provide mentoring opportunities, resources for your health and career, and ideas for expanding your interest group.

PsychSIGN is comprised of psychiatry interest groups at medical schools across the country. We divide our member schools into regions depending on the school’s location. Each school is headed by a Region Chair elected by PsychSIGN members at the national convention. Regions get together for the region conference annually and are kept up to date with National PsychSIGN and the APA through newsletters and monthly updates. There are no membership costs for the schools in PsychSIGN and the events we hold are also open to the students at no cost.

Join PsychSIGN and the APA for free today.
