OCOM 7010 - Psychiatric
This three-week psychiatric course is a comprehensive introduction to psychiatry throughout the lifespan. Emphasis is placed on major psychiatric disorders, including their neurochemical basis, assessment, diagnosis, and evidenced-based treatments, including the pharmacology and clinical utilization of all classes of psychotropic medications as well as psychological interventions. The course is divided into three weekly topic areas that cover anxiety disorders, mood and childhood disorders, and psychotic/personality disorders. Students are expected to do significant outside reading based on assignments for each learning topic and activity. Real patient interviews and case studies allow students to learn the distinguishing features of these disorders and more fully experience how these conditions and treatments affect patients. Case vignettes are utilized in problem sets, and an extensive review is conducted prior to the final.
