During the 30 months of psychiatry, each resident assumes significant
responsibility for an appropriate number and variety of psychiatric
inpatients for a period of 9-18 months. In addition, clinical experience
includes at least one year (or its equivalent if done on a part-time
basis) in an organized and well-supervised outpatient program that
includes a wide variety of disorders, patients, and treatment modalities
with experience in both brief and long-term care of patients using
psychodynamic and biological approaches. Other supervised clinical
experiences include: evaluation and treatment of children, adolescents,
couples and families; psychiatric consultation/liaison involving medical
and surgical patients; 24 hour psychiatric emergency room service;
community psychiatry including forensic or court evaluations; collaboration
with other mental health professionals; experience with common psychological
tests and procedures and clinical management of patients with alcoholism
and drug abuse including detoxification and long term management.
