Students will acquire exposure to the psychiatric manifestation of neurologic illness. Students will develop expertise in understanding the culture and functions of hospital and primary care settings. The student has an active role in seeing patients, obtaining histories, performing diagnostic interviews and in developing treatment and disposition plans. Students will attend rounds, participate in didactic experiences, seminars and tutorials and will present their patients to Dr. Weisman in daily rounds. Students will also do intakes and will follow a limited number of patients in the medical-psychiatric outpatient program.
