Psychiatric Continuing Medical Education 2018 in Dfw

The HMS Department of Psychiatry recognizes the vital importance of psychiatric education in the medical student curriculum and plays a dynamic role in the teaching of medical students at Harvard Medical School. In addition to the preclinical course Mind, Brain, and Behavior, and the Core Psychiatry Clerkship, psychiatry faculty and residents actively participate in a variety of required multidisciplinary courses and evaluations throughout the four year curriculum, some of which include the Practice of Medicine, longitudinal seminars in the second year Principal Clinical Experience, and the Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCE). A wide range of psychiatry electives are offered across diverse sites. Psychiatry faculty also serve as research and clinical mentors.

Required and Elective Courses
Mind, Brain, and Behavior is a core integrated preclerkship course on the nervous system and behavior. MBB integrates content that was previously covered in separate courses that ran contemporaneously in the curriculum (Human Systems: Nervous System and Behavior, Psychopathology and Introduction to Clinical Psychiatry). The design team for MBB identified core content that needed to be learned prior to the principal clinical year and created class sessions that matched the most appropriate pedagogical methods and teaching settings with the material to be covered. Thus, students learn brain anatomy using hands-on dissection of human specimens, close study of anatomical models, and exercises in clinical neurology; they learn the approach to psychiatric interviewing through both didactic sessions and small-group visits to mental health facilities led by clinical preceptors.

Students participate in the Core Psychiatry Clerkship through the Principal Clinical Experience (PCE) they are assigned to at:

• Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) with courses offered on the BIDMC campus and at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center;
• Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) with courses offered through BWH/Faulkner and at McLean Hospital;
• Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) with courses offered on the MGH campus or at the Cambridge Health Alliance;
• the Cambridge Integrated Clerkship (CIC) at the Cambridge Health Alliance, with a longitudinal experience in psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance

Clerkship assignments are available on inpatient units, consult-liaison services, and partial hospital programs. Weekly didactics foster growing competence in the understanding, assessment and multi-modal treatment of individuals with major psychiatric disorders as well as individuals with psychiatric presentations in the context of other medical illnesses. The clerkship emphasizes small group and individual supervision with attending faculty. Standardized expectations and assessments across clerkship sites support uniform teaching objectives while unique areas of expertise and patient populations within each rotation often allow for experiences that enrich a student's particular interests and goals.

In addition to the required MBB course and Core Psychiatry Clerkship, a broad range of psychiatry electives are available to Harvard Medical students and visiting students, including advanced clinical experiences in inpatient, consult-liaison, child and adolescent, emergency and addiction psychiatry, history of psychiatry, psychosocial oncology and palliative care. For further information, students may consult the list of psychiatry electives in the Harvard Medical School course catalog. Harvard students may also contact the directors of medical student education in psychiatry for assistance in arranging for individualized mentored clinical and research experiences. Visiting medical students are welcome to apply for many of the psychiatry electives but must make arrangements through the Office of the Registrar.

Psychiatry Student Interest Group
An active Psychiatry Student Interest Group (PSIG) holds lunch talks on a variety of topics. The Group also sponsors informational and social activities throughout the year, including a dinner with Psychiatry Residency Training Directors, various speaker panels, and a Welcome Party for medical students interested in Psychiatry.

To receive Psychiatry-related announcements for HMS events and psychiatry residency application guidance, submit a request here to join the PSIG listserv (eCommons login credentials required).

The junior PSIG medical student leaders for 2020-2021 are Jamie Baik, Grace Cavanaugh, Meghana Vagwala, and Taylor Zabel; the senior PSIG medical student leaders are Sam Petrie and Lucas Wittman. The PSIG faculty mentors for adult psychiatry are Justin Chen, MD, MPH, and Gaston Baslet, MD, and the faculty mentors for child psychiatry are Chase Samsel, MD, and Christine Wittmann, MD. Students intersted in participating in PSIG leadership should contact the current leaders in August or September.

Cohen Klingenstein Fellowship in Child Psychiatry (program info sheet), funded by the Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation.

The Fellowship offers students the opportunity to explore the field of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in a flexible manner. Based on individual interests, students may be connected with general child and adolescent psychiatrists, including residents and faculty, across Harvard-affiliated hospitals with the potential to take part in clinical experiences. It is open to all HMS students with no formal obligation.

Applications are accepted each October.
