OBJECTIVE Enhancing neuroscience education during psychiatry residency training requires the organization of comprehensive and longitudinal pedagogy in various aspects of clinical neuroscience. This process can be complex, and limited structured guidance is available for how to implement such a curriculum. The authors' principal goal was to develop a longitudinal interdisciplinary neuroscience curriculum that spans 4 years, promotes collaboration of educators from multiple departments, and can be generalized to other psychiatry programs. METHODS The authors implemented a 4-year curriculum in a stepwise manner during psychiatry residency training. They obtained feedback and used it for improvement. RESULTS Positive feedback was given for the curriculum, with improvement to scores across 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Development of a clinical neuroscience curriculum at the authors' program provides a potential framework for implementation in other psychiatry residency programs.
