Dear students,
Welcome to your Psychiatry Clerkship! In the next 3 weeks, you will learn to evaluate
and treat mental illness and psychiatric manifestations of other medical disorders.
From the publication of DSM-5 to the advances in psychiatric genetics, neurostimulation
and pharmacological treatment, and the understanding of neurobiological underpinnings
of psychotherapy, we have a very exciting field to teach you about! Please read and
become familiar with the clerkship objectives, and enjoy your psychiatry clerkship!
