Dear Faculty,
We invite you to teach our Year 2 Psychiatry Clinical Skills Sessions in MEDD 421 this fall (September, October, and November 2024).
We only require preceptors for Psychiatry 2 and Psychiatry 3.
Psychiatry 1 is an online asynchronous module that introduces the principles of psychiatric interviewing and the mental status examination. Students will have protected time in the curriculum to complete Psychiatry 1 before 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 to evaluate 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 Monday or a Wednesday. If possible, we encourage you to select both consecutive sessions so you can teach the same group. Training materials will be provided by the Clinical Skills program. We need 4 tutors per day to maintain optimal group sizes.
These sessions will be held in person at the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre (DHCC), 2775 Laurel Street, Vancouver, BC, on Mondays, Wednesdays or occasionally Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Preceptors participating in these sessions are compensated through TTPS, where applicable and eligible. All preceptors should have a faculty appointment or an appointment in progress. If you do not have a current appointment, please contact us.
Fellows and eligible non-clinical faculty are also welcome to sign up to teach these sessions and may be eligible for compensation depending on their appointments. For questions regarding eligibility, please reach out to us.
