Prerequisite: Successful completion of Phase II This required six week clerkship will allow the student intensive experience with diagnosis and the treatment of psychiatric patients. The student will perform a complete evaluation of assigned patients, with collaboration and guidance of the staff, including a physical and mental status examination involved in formulating and carrying out a treatment plan for the patient including use of individual psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, family therapy, group therapy and other therapeutic modalities.
Prerequisites: PSY 5000 To provide the student doctor with the opportunity to learn directly about the medicine/psychiatry interface. This medical/psychiatric experience can be invaluable for those going into any specialty in medicine.
Prerequisite: PSY 5000 Students desiring supervision and training in the psychiatric assessment and treatment of individuals from a family systems perspective are encouraged to sign up for this elective. Students can expect to be involved in the treatment of marital and family therapy cases in both the outpatient and inpatient units. Supervision for these activities will be provided by faculty and will include live case observation as well as opportunities in psychotherapy. Students will attend Residents’ Family Therapy Seminars, Weekly Outpatient Live Case Conferences, and Inpatient Family Assessment and Treatment Teams. Students will be assigned readings designed to acquaint them with basic and advanced clinical issues involved in Family Therapy approaches to treatment.
Prerequisites: PSY 5000 Special arrangements can be made for elective rotations at other institutions or for preceptorships with individual psychiatrists.
This course provides basic information for the resident with limited prior experience in physical examination of the human body other than the oral cavity. Information presented is limited to components of physical examination important in the workup of a patient for a dental procedure to be performed under sedation or general anesthesia. It is assumed that, through training in the PGY 1 year, the resident has experience in interviewing a patient, taking a health history, and a thorough understanding of human anatomy and physiology.
The primary objective of this course is to provide students with an understanding of basic concepts and methods of statistical inference in the biomedical health sciences. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to understand, interpret and critique the results of application of these statistical techniques as found in the health sciences literature. The overall objective of this course is to instill in students a practical understanding of and appreciation for the role of statistics in the biomedical health sciences.
The major objectives of this course are to provide the student with an advanced course in oral and maxillofacial radiology. Oral and maxillofacial radiology interrelates with all clinical disciplines of dentistry with the exact nature of the relationship varying from one discipline to another. These relationships include a diagnostic role in identifying or confirming the presence of an abnormality; a treatment planning role such as determining the extent of a condition; being an integral part of a clinical technique in another discipline; and acting as a tool to monitor the progress of healing, the recurrence of previously treated disease, and the evaluation of the status of previous conditions.
This seminar course will review common orthodontic techniques utilizing fixed and removable appliances that will support a multidisciplinary treatment plan. This course will highlight the importance of an accurate and timely orthodontic diagnosis emphasizing a team approach in developing a patient’s comprehensive treatment plan to maximize the patient’s esthetic and functional goals. This seminar will provide an overview of orthodontic treatment philosophy and biomechanics.
CLCR 8010 is a course in practice management for the graduate student. It is a focused study on various aspects relating to their setting up and operating a successful dental practice.
