Clinical and Basic

Training Program in Psychiatry
PG1-2 Years:
Inpatient Psychiatry: Clinical Care & Research
Patient care in inpatient clinical settings is supported by formalized,
mentored, clinical training in the principles of human behavior.
The resident is introduced to research through the care of patients enrolled
in investigational protocols, including those admitted to the research-dedicated
Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit.
Specialized case-conferences and seminars are devoted to understanding
the clinical syndrome in depth and integrating clinical phenomena with
our current knowledge of neurobiologic mechanisms and treatments.
In addition to the formal avenues provided by conferences and seminars,
there are additional informal opportunities for initial research involvement
during these rotations, including writing case-reports, review articles,
and drafting research proposals for formal review.
