Post Graduate Year One

Clinical rotations and didactic lectures in the first year are designed to equip residents with basic skills in psychiatry to build upon in future training. There are several options for clinical rotations based upon the resident’s interests available in order to meet ACGME training requirements.

Clinical Rotations
All residents rotate for six months in inpatient psychiatry.   Three months are spent at the Arkansas State Hospital Acute Unit and three additional months are spent at the Acute Inpatient Unit at the VA Medical Center.

Two months of neurology are completed at the VA Medical Center.  Residents have an option to complete one of the two months of neurology at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.  

Two months of Internal Medicine Wards are required and are completed at the VA Medical Center.  Two months of outpatient medicine are completed in the University Medicine Clinic.  An optional one month Emergency Medicine rotation can be completed at the University Emergency Department. 

Didactics
Didactic time is protected for residents, even while assigned to other departments.  Residents have lunch together and then break into small groups for lectures.  In addition to formal lectures, other educational activities include problem based learning, practice PRITE in-service exams, and meetings with faculty.
