Description from DukeHub
This course is an intensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of acute co-morbid medical and psychiatric disorders requiring acute hospitalization. Students participating in this four-week elective based in Duke North 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, (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: successful completion of PSYCHTRY-205C and MEDICINE-205C. C-L MEDICINE 407C.
