Med-Psych

Catalog description

This elective is offered for 4th year medical students interested in combined training and want a closer look at the environments and practice styles of dual-boarded physicians. The elective involves experiences in our two Med/Psych continuity clinics and the consult/liaison service run by a combined physician. Students may also participate in a traumatic brain injury clinic run in conjunction with the NFL and observe forensic evaluations of medically-complicated psychiatric cases. Rotating students will be expected to attend didactics in both the Internal Medicine and Psychiatry departments as well as our weekly Med/Psych conference. By the end of the rotation, the student will lead the weekly conference on a topic chosen in collaboration with the course director. Courses may be repeated up to unlimited credit hours.
