Didactics
During didactics, faculty, pharmacists, psychoanalysts, psychologists and staff from other disciplines cover a wide range of topics. In recent years, didactic topics have included: major DSM 5 diagnoses, PRITE review sessions, psychopharmacology, neurology, neuropsychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, psychotherapy, psychiatry and philosophy, psychiatry and religion, quality improvement and patient safety, research methodology and more.
There are monthly built-in resident wellness sessions for each class during these academic half days. Residents also learn from medicine and neurology faculty during off-service rotations.
Department of Psychiatry case conference/grand rounds take place each week on Thursdays from 8-9 a.m.
