Didactics Overview

A well rounded psychiatric training requires both hands-on clinical experience and didactic instruction. The didactic curriculum through three separate venues; ongoing lecture series (e.g. Grand Rounds, Women's Wellness, etc.), formal "core" weekly seminars and on-location seminars (e.g. chief resident lecture, Chairman's rounds, journal club, specialty clinic conference, etc.) "Core" seminars seek to provide a minimum level of mastery over the fundamentals of modern psychiatry. Keeping to this ideal, seminars had been created around what we identify as the five major topic areas:

  1. Biological Psychiatry
  2. Psychotherapy
  3. Psychopathology & Clinical Diagnosis
  4. Experimental Psychiatry
  5. Law & Ethics in Psychiatry
