Supervision
In addition to rotation-specific (bedside) supervision, Fellows will receive an hour of 1:1 supervision per week with the Program Director. The supervision will focus on rotation-specific topics and pertinent literature, collaboration and supervision skills, practice improvement, development of professional identity, and work-life balance.
Journal Club
This monthly meeting will cover readings pertinent to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry. These meetings will often occur off-site and are also attended by the Geriatric Psychiatry Fellow and Director, and can include various faculty members.
Psychiatry Grand Rounds
These weekly presentations occur from September through May. During the summer (July - August), the weekly Grand Rounds is replaced by the weekly Brown Bag series, which focuses on matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
