Help With SFCP Psychoanalytic Training Outreach?

October 6, 2023

Dear colleagues,

I hope you have all had a restful summer and are doing well now that we are well into Fall.

I am writing to ask whether you know anyone who may be interested in applying to the Psychoanalytic Training Program in the next several years and might be ready for an initial conversation about what training might look like for them. If so, please consider putting them in touch with me — (415) 826-9639 or adamgoldynemd@gmail.com — or sharing their name with me so I can reach out to them. I will make every effort to help them explore what training might be like in a supportive, personalized way.

In addition, they may be interested in looking at the Psychoanalytic Training Section of the SFCP Website, which contains updated information on the practicalities of training, along with a downloadable application form and instructions on how to apply.

Anyone interested can use this link to RSVP for an Informational Evening which will take place on Thursday, November 9 from 7:30-9:30 pm, in person at SFCP. This event will include formal presentations along with opportunities to speak with faculty and candidates.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for me regarding the process of reaching out to prospective candidates, I welcome your input.

Warmly,

Adam Goldyne
Outreach Chair, Psychoanalytic Training Program, SFCP
