Community Medicine and Psychiatry
The Community Medicine and Psychiatry rotations consist of a full 4-week block and are also integrated longitudinally throughout the intern year. The community medicine rotation focuses on familiarizing residents with community resources that they can utilize for their patients during the remainder of their residency. These resources include:
- Home health agencies
- Hospice care
- Epidemiology, particularly for sexually transmitted diseases
- Health education and nutrition
- Developmental pediatrics
- Pharmacotherapeutic resources
The psychiatry rotation includes both inpatient and outpatient clinic experiences. These rotations also incorporate videotaped personal clinics and assigned readings in psychiatry.
