Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds (1.5 hours weekly).
Various speakers provide presentations on topics of interest and lead discussion
afterward. Speakers, from inside and outside of the Department, represent
the broad range of behavioral sciences.
Professional Interest Group
During the course of the year, the Professional Interest Group meets periodically
and informally with different faculty members at the faculty member’s
home to address issues of mutual interest and those that may not have
come up elsewhere in training. Past topics have included the psychologist’s
role in legal cases, ethical issues, testing of Freud’s ideas, setting
up a private practice, state licensing laws, attention deficit disorders,
multicultural issues, and hypnosis.
Additional Seminars and Courses
A host of courses and workshops are offered within the Department of Psychiatry each year
and are available to psychology interns. In recent years, interns have
attended seminars in medicine for psychologists, neuropsychology, observed
individual and family therapy, group therapy, brief therapy, hypnosis,
and professional issues. Intern interests play a role in dictating the
topics covered by the seminar program in any given year.
Special Conferences
Special conferences are arranged to cover topics of interest to faculty or
interns and are scheduled whenever the need arises. A visiting expert,
for instance, in Statistics or Forensic Psychiatry might be invited to
lead such a conference. |
