** Sent on behalf of the UBC Psychiatry Summer Immersion Program (PSIP) **
Dear Faculty,
The Department of Psychiatry 5th annual Psychiatry Summer Immersion Program will take place Mon, June 3 and Tues, June 4, 2024. The two-day program provides an opportunity for 1st Year undergraduate medical students to explore the field of psychiatry as a potential career option through engagement with psychiatrists and psychiatry residents. Each day consists of half-day interactive talks, and half-day clinical shadowing placements.
Talks offer a unique opportunity to provide information on the broad range of subspecialties and career options within psychiatry, a day in the life of a psychiatrist, and topics such as salary, work-life balance and stigma. As a speaker, you will share your career path and provide insights into your subspecialty. Talks are 40 minutes (including 5-10 minutes for Q&A).
*Please note that in person talks are preferred, at the locations listed below. However, given that all talks will also be broadcast via Zoom to students at distributed sites, remote options are available.
Shadowing provides an opportunity for students to meet and observe psychiatrists at work in a broad range of subspecialties and settings. Shadowing sessions take place on the Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning and should last approximately 3 hours.
