Description
Summary:Clinical cases often serve as the bedrock of psychiatric clinical teaching (in the form of case-based rounding and bedside teaching); this teaching typically occurs on inpatient psychiatric units, in the emergency department, and in outpatient mental health clinics. [...]there is limited guidance in the literature about how medical schools might adapt their existing clerkships to better serve students’ needs to better equip them to understand and address common mental health conditions. [...]patients ill enough to be hospitalized are more likely to suffer from severe psychiatric conditions. [...]having students participate in outpatient psychiatric experiences is also challenging. Because C-L psychiatry sits squarely at the interface of medicine and psychiatry, these services are ideally situated for medical student psychiatry clerkships.
