The Medical Psychiatry Clerkship is designed to provide hands-on experience in the evaluation and treatment of patients with combined medical and psychiatric disease. The fourth year student under the supervision of residents in both medicine and psychiatry will learn to make appropriate medical and psychiatric diagnoses while considering the relationship of these conditions. The student will act at sub-intern level selecting appropriate consultations, diagnostic tests, and treatments. The student will be expected to develop familiarity with the etiology and pathophysiology of the conditions being treated, review potential complications, and develop skills in direct interactions with the patients to facilitate team-teaching and patient care. The student is required to prepare and present an article at the Medicine-Psychiatry noon conference. Contact Dr. Vicki Kijewski for details about the noon conference schedule at the initial of the elective. Participation in senior elective clinical readings, resident didactic seminars, and resident clinical conferences are expected of the clerk during this elective.
