PSY - 792 Psychiatric Consult. (Med/Psych)

This elective is designed for senior students interested in the internal medicine/psychiatry residency or psychiatry in a consultation/liaison setting. Adults hospitalized on medical, surgical, obstetric, and neurological services are studied with supervised diagnostic evaluation and continuing management. Integration of medical, psychological, and family issues are emphasized, including the role of the milieu-home, community, and hospital.

Special work is done with dialysis patients, transplant patients, patients with malignancy, and those undergoing intensive care. The elective is planned as an experience in all areas, with emphasis depending upon student interest and needs. Those interested in the combined internal medicine/psychiatry residency may choose to have additional experiences to acquaint them with the residency and this combined approach to patient care. Students may also enroll in this clerkship for six weeks by contacting the Office of Medical Student Programs. Elective
