Teaching rounds will be made each morning with the attending psychiatrist in one of the hospitals. During the afternoon, the student will be given the opportunity to further workup cases, study the literature involved, obtain laboratory experience and training in the Mental Health Center or private clinic where both children and adults are seen by psychiatrists and psychologists and at seminars. 

The student will have an opportunity to experience variations in psychiatric thinking by psychiatrists whose work is confined largely to their offices or to the children's psychiatric service or adult psychiatric service. Direction will be given to available reading materials. For three unit electives, one of the three will be on outpatient work at the Mental Health Center or private clinic. The student will be available, with a consultant, for consultation on other services. He/she will have an opportunity to learn the diagnostic modalities, the varied treatment programs and the relationship of psychiatry to other medical specialties.
