Director, Psychiatric Undergraduate Education

Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry's Clerkship
Program. The goal of the clerkship program is to provide
students with the opportunity to gain a firm foundation in
psychiatry which will serve them in whatever fields of
medicine they enter. The Department provides a number
of experiences from which the students can achieve the
identified learning objectives. 

The psychiatry rotation is a combination of inpatient and outpatient
experiences. In addition, students will attend a series of lectures, seminars
and resource sessions facilitated by expert faculty. 

During the inpatient assignment, students will work with patients who are
suffering from major mental illnesses. The lives of these individuals are so
disrupted by emotional difficulties that they need the protective setting of the
hospital.  During outpatient clinic assignments, students will evaluate,
diagnose and utilize a variety of modes of treatment for patients who require
treatment but are still able to function in their life setting.

The staff of the Department of Psychiatry clerkship program is committed to
the goals of the program and encourage students with questions or with an
interest in careers in psychiatry to contact them for additional information.
