PSY 4350 Psychiatry Sub-Internship

 

The sub-internship is an intensive inpatient clinical experience designed to provide students with increased patient assessment and management responsibilities. The experience and role will approximate those of an intern on the treatment team, to include call duties. Under direct staff/senior resident supervision on an inpatient ward team and/or consultation-liaison team, students will assume ownership of the care for their assigned patients, ideally engaged from admission to discharge and in transitions of care. Expected daily clinical activities include performing intake/follow-up interviews, collecting collateral information, presenting complete assessments to the treatment team, completing clinical documentation, ordering/addressing laboratory, radiologic, and psychological assessments, calling and following-up with consultants, providing/accepting clinical hand-offs, collaborating within the multidisciplinary environment, and coordinating dispositions/discharge

 

This rotation allows 1 (one) student/specific site location, with larger sites able to accommodate both Inpatient and Consultation-Liaison sub-interns

*Students must confirm enrollment with Psychiatry Course Coordinators ([e-mail])  to assure availability.
