Introduction

Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry and the third-year clerkship. We hope that you find your six weeks on Psychiatry a stimulating and rewarding experience. The faculty, residents, and other staff members will try to help you make the best use of your time during the clerkship. In turn, we hope that you will provide the initiative and hard work which is necessary to learn those aspects of psychiatry which will be helpful to you during future years of practice.
