Clinical Curriculum
In addition to providing opportunities to manage patients in different clinical settings, the clinical curriculum is designed to ensure that you will rotate in many different systems of care.
Curriculum & Training
We continue to maintain a long tradition of strong clinical and research programs in the biological, psychological, and social determinants of mental health. Each of these models is represented in the core didactic curriculum to enable you to have the knowledge necessary to provide your patients with the best treatment available. This exposure will also help you determine which aspects of these models you want to incorporate in your own career.
We also strive to provide balance in your training by giving you the opportunity to direct aspects of your own education. After all, who knows better than you about what direction you’d like your career to take?
