Mental Health Care is provided to a a large portion of the Monroe County - Rochester, NY area. The patients we serve are drawn from diverse urban, suburban, and rural populations. A wide range of socieoeconomic and thnic backgrounds are represented, as well. During the course of the training year, the intern may be expected to interview a psychiatric social worker in an area outside their placement area. The purpose of these interviews is to broaden the intern's knowledge of the breadth of hospital-based social work.
Seminars are a large part of the training, as well.
Each presentation lasts one and a half hours and attendance is mandatory. For the 1999-2000 academic year, there are 5 seminars. Students are also welcome to participate in the Prinicples of Group Psychotherapy elective that meets on Tuesdays for one and a half hours. This involves a multi-disciplinary seminar, an experiential training group and clinical group experience that prepares interns for group psychotherapy certification hroug the National Registry and Certified Group Psychotherapists.
