Introduction to Psychiatry (MS2)
This two-week psychiatry course focuses on the multi-faceted causes of mental illnesses and their clinical manifestations and treatment, providing a mixture of large groups, small groups, and practicum.
Mini-Electives Preclinical Experiences (MS1-2)
Students are invited to individually tailor their exposure to psychiatry through numerous opportunities. Students can join mentors in clinic or on the units, and participate in the Pitt Med’s neuroscience clinical track, the mind-body electives, and psychiatric flex weeks to gain research and clinical experiences at the start of their medical school journey. These elective experiences allow students to explore a range of psychiatry-related topics, including mindfulness, mind-body medicine, and motivational interviewing.
Boot Camp: Psychiatry Track (MS4)
This month-long course gives students a chance to revisit core psychiatry knowledge and skills just prior to the transition to residency, using classroom-based didactics, practice, and individualized learning plans. The psychiatry track is one of six, paired up with general medical sessions around acute care, communication, and professional development skills.
