Psychiatry for Psychiatrists: The Pre-Test
Description
This two-day preparation course follows Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists.
This is a pre-test that will complement standard psychiatry review courses and complete the review in Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists. In this course, a small group of faculty who are experienced and well-informed about modern psychiatry and test-taking strategies will present essential information through a series of test-type questions using anonymous audience response system keypads and subsequent discussions directly with the audience. The interactive presentations will cover a broad range and depth of topics in psychiatry including psychiatry through the life cycle, neurobiologic foundations, diagnosis and treatment of major psychiatric disorders and other clinical aspects of psychiatry. They will not belabor the obvious or dwell on the esoteric. Special topics will include suicide, legal issues and psychosomatic medicine. The faculty will emphasize subjects that are critical, complicated or otherwise important. Enrollment is limited.
