Postgraduate Year-1 Residency Training in Emergency Psychiatry: An Acute Care Psychiatric Clinic at a Community Mental Health Center

摘要

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine resident satisfaction with an acute care psychiatric clinic designed in collaboration with a nearby community mental health center. We also sought to demonstrate that this rotation helps meet program requirements for emergency psychiatry training, provides direct assessments of resident interviewing skills and clinical knowledge in the postgraduate year-1, and provides exposure to public sector systems of care.
