In addition to clinical teaching on the respective services, students receive didactic lectures and case-based classes over common psychiatric problems. The general surgical portion of the clerkship will place students at the Nebraska Health System, VA Medical Center, Immanuel, or the Nebraska Methodist Hospital. Students will be involved as an integral part of the ward team and will participate in morning and afternoon rounds. Mandatory attendance at lectures and skills workshops presented throughout the rotation is required and takes precedence over clinical activities. Teaching strategies include the use of web based modules, workshops, integrated clerkship experiences, projects and managed care practicums.
Emphasis is placed on self-directed learning and selective activities.
