The entire PGY-III year is an outpatient rotation at the University Medical Center psychiatry outpatient clinic. The year focuses on the development of psychotherapy skills and the psychopharmacologic management of outpatients. PGY-III residents are expected to follow one child or adolescent case through the year and to work with one outpatient group during the year.
Residents receive on average five hours of individual supervision each week.
Residents rotate through child and adolescent outpatient services, forensic psychiatry, behavioral medicine outpatient service, and public sector outpatient service in the PGY-III year. PGY-III residents on call carry the responsibility of training junior residents to take call.
