OCOM 709 - Medical Knowledge: Psychiatric
The psychiatric course is designed to acquaint students with major psychiatric disorders, including their neurochemical basis, diagnosis, and treatment. Case studies and real patient interviews are utilized to aid in learning the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria and distinguishing features of these disorders. The course is divided into mood, anxiety, and psychotic/personality disorders weekly modules. Emphasis is placed on understanding these disorders at the neurochemical level, and students are expected to do significant outside reading.
