Total Contact Hours:

Director:
Brenda Roman, M.D., Director, Medical Student Education, and Professor, Psychiatry
Description:
The Clinical Clerkship in Psychiatry builds upon education in Biennium I which included courses in human development and psychopathology. It serves the primary purpose of providing the training and education to enable students to acquire basic skills for dealing with psychiatric aspects of primary care medicine. Secondarily, an understanding of the theoretical basis of handling psychiatric problems in clinical practice is a prerequisite. Finally, professional attitudes and behaviors are sine qua non requirements of acceptable clinical practice.
