MEDICINE 407C
Sub-Internship in Internal Medicine/Psychiatry
Kristen Grace Shirey
Description from DukeHub
This course is an intensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of acute co-morbid medical and psychiatric disorders requiring inpatient hospitalization. Students participating in this four-week elective based in Duke Hospital are expected to function at intern-level, assuming care of a small census of complex patients. The Medicine/Psychiatry faculty on the GenMed 12 service provides direct supervision. The goal of the elective is to refine and then clinically apply basic knowledge from the fields of Internal Medicine and Psychiatry. Participation at selected case conferences and didactic sessions is expected. Students are invited to attend the intern lecture series during Psychiatry Academic Half-day and educational offerings in Internal Medicine, including Intern Report. For more information, please contact Dr. Kristen Shirey via email, (contact listed in DukeHub); secondary contact: Cathy Lefebvre, (contact listed in DukeHub). Preference is given to students considering a career in combined Medicine-Psychiatry. Prerequisite: permission of instructor and successful completion of PSYCHTRY-205C and MEDICINE-205C. C-L PSYCHTRY 407C. Credit: 5. Enrollment: max 1. Kristen Shirey, MD
