PSYH 9110 Psychiatry Clerkship
The UTRGV SOM psychiatry clerkship is designed to solidify the knowledge that psychiatry students have acquired in the M1 and M2 modules. This allows learners to gain practical skills in the application of this knowledge in clinical situations. The focus is on interviewing skills, psychiatric evaluations, refining diagnostic skills, and an overview of psychosocial and neurobiological treatment modalities for the major psychiatric disorders across the life-cycle. The clerkship consists of clinical work in various settings under the supervision of academic clinical faculty serving as attending physicians, resident physicians in training, consulting community behavioral health faculty, other consulting faculty, allied professionals, a weekly lecture series by academic faculty, interviewing seminars taught by voluntary clinical faculty, and attendance at Grand Rounds. In addition, students participate in the outpatient clinics of the residents and faculty inclusive of Child, Memory Disorders, Mood Disorders, Neuromodulation, and general psychopharmacology clinics. Learners are given the opportunity to express their preferences regarding assignment.
Prerequisite: The student must have completed Year 1 & 2 and be in good standing at UTRGV SOM.
