CORE 7007 - Psychiatry

4 credit hours

The Psychiatry clerkship is a 4-week Core experience. Students may receive exposure to a diverse community of patients in ambulatory or inpatient settings, Telehealth remote patient encounters, and online didactic experiences. This clerkship is designed to provide the student with an understanding of psychiatry through the integration of didactic knowledge and clinical experiences. Throughout the clerkship, osteopathic medical students should approach the care of the patient through a whole person perspective, including the patient’s physical complaints considered in the context of their mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing as well as contributing factors that include their family circle, community, environment, and social determinants of health.
