Mentorship and Clinical Engagement in Child/Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry
|
A mentoring program designed to expose first and second-year medical students to the rewarding fields of child/adolescent and adult psychiatry, and to increase awareness and education about child/adolescent and adult mental health issues. The early years of medical training consist primarily of didactic instruction, an almost universal challenge for students who enter medicine desiring to help and interact with patients. To increase engagement with the field, we bring clinical psychiatry to preclinical students, by interacting with patients and families, as follows. During our weekly seminar time, we interview a patient and family one week, then offer a debriefing, Q&A session the following week. The seminar includes open discussion, addressing questions about specific interactions with the child/adolescent or adult, diagnoses, and therapies used for treatment. Responses to students¿ questions invariably address evidence-based approaches to assessment and treatment of specific disorders, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, autism, and attentional disorders. We also facilitate opportunities for the students to get involved in cutting-edge scientific research, networking/collaborating (including with medical students and faculty around the world), and attending professional conferences. The course is offered during autumn, winter and spring quarters and is intended as a longitudinal seminar to be taken continuously across these quarters. Medical students who cannot attend three quarters may enroll with permission of the instructor. Non-medical students interested in the course should contact the instructor.

Intro to Specialty Career Selection: Exploring Residency Specialty Selection with Career Advisors
|
Are you intimidated by the number of specialty choices out there? Do you want to feel more confident when answering the dreaded question, ¿What kind of doctor do you want to be?¿ The School of Medicine, Center for Specialty Career Advising is offering a 2-quarter seminar series, highlighting the different specialty career choices offered for your post graduate training. We recognize that pre-clinical medical students may have a general idea of what field of medicine they might be interested in pursuing, but often aren¿t exposed to the vast number of choices until later in their clinical years. This series will feature 20 different and popular specialties. Each week, we will highlight a different specialty through a seminar led by the Specialty Career Advisor (SCA) in that field of medicine. Each SCA is carefully selected as an expert and mentor in that field and will provide you with an overview of what to expect should you choose that specialty. Each overview will also provide a next steps framework to learn more about the field with ample time for Q&A. There is no better time to start exploring than now! This series is a Pass-Fail attendance only course.
