PSY 4350 Psychiatry Sub-Internship

The sub-internship is an intensive clinical experience designed to provide students with increased patient assessment and management responsibilities. The experience and role should approximate those of an intern on the treatment team, to include call duties. Under direct staff/senior resident supervision, students should 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, completing clinical documentation, ordering/addressing laboratory and radiologic tests, calling and following-up with consultants, providing/accepting clinical hand-offs, collaborating/working within the multidisciplinary environment, and coordinating discharge.
