Call for Preceptors | Year 2 Psychiatry Clinical Skills Sessions in MEDD 421 this Fall

** Sent on behalf of Dr. Kathryn Fung, UGE Program Director, UBC Department of Psychiatry **

Dear Faculty:

We would like to invite you to teach our Year 2 Psychiatry Clinical Skills Sessions in MEDD 421 this fall (September, October, November, and December 2023).

We only require preceptors for Psychiatry 2 and Psychiatry 3.

Psychiatry 1 is as an online asynchronous module introducing principles of psychiatric interviewing and the mental status examination. Students will have protected time in the curriculum to complete Psychiatry 1 prior to Psychiatry 2 and Psychiatry 3.

The two preceptor-led sessions involve students interviewing a standardized patient (SP):

·         Psychiatry 2   SP Daniela (Anxiety)
·         Psychiatry 3   SP Ada (Depression)

Preceptors will be asked to complete a Workplace-Based Assessment (WBA) after Psychiatry 3 as the evaluation of each student’s performance in their group.  Each student group will have Psychiatry 2 and Psychiatry 3 over two consecutive weeks on the same day of the week, either on a Wednesday or a Friday.  If possible, we encourage you to select both consecutive sessions so you can teach the same group. Training materials are provided by the Clinical Skills program.

We need 4 tutors per day for optimal group size.

These sessions will be held in-person at the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre (DHCC), 2775 Laurel Street, Vancouver, BC on Wednesdays or Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Compensation:

For each session, if applicable/eligible, preceptors are paid through TTPS:

$91.80 per hour X 4 hours = $367.20

This is based on 3.5 hours for teaching and an additional 30 minutes per session for marking as students submit case write-ups.

All preceptors participating in these teaching sessions should have a faculty appointment or an appointment in progress. If you do not, please contact us.
