In 2015, Yale School of Medicine consolidated two clerkships for Ambulatory Care Internal Medicine and Psychiatry into one 12-week integrated clerkship entitled the Biopsychosocial Approach to Health (BAH). Joint classroom and clinical activities bring together students to explore distinctions, commonalities, and shared science in the two fields. Our goal is to better equip students to meet the challenges of modern health care in any field they choose.
You will spend 6 of the 12 weeks of the BAH Clerkship in Psychiatry clinical settings. We look forward to having you! Our faculty and residents are eager to teach you about psychiatric disorders and to share knowledge as well as unanswered questions we have about the function of the brain. No matter which field of medicine you ultimately choose to pursue, knowledge and skills in psychiatry are critical for your future medical practice.
The psychiatry component of the BAH Clerkship is divided into two clinical components:
Psychiatric clinical sites include Connecticut Mental Health Center, Yale New Haven Psychiatric Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital (York and Chapel Street campuses, Yale Child Study Center, Middlesex Hospital, and the VA CT Healthcare System. Throughout the clerkship, you will have the opportunity to learn and develop clinical skills through carefully designed one-half day per week outpatient experiences in a variety of settings. At all sites, our enthusiastic and dedicated faculty and residents provide close supervision and clinical instruction, while also fostering an appropriate level of independence in patient care.
For more information about the Integrated Clerkship for Primary Care and Psychiatry, including clerkship syllabus materials, didactic schedule, and clerkship requirements, please visit the integrated clerkship website.
If you have any questions regarding the third year clerkship, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Savercool or Dr. Goldenberg.
