Rotation Descriptions:
Inpatient Psychiatry: The inpatient unit at NMCP is composed of three teams, each led by a different psychiatry attending. The team typically includes a varying mixture of the following: Nurses, medical students, psychology interns, psychiatry interns, psychiatry residents, and attending. Residents become proficient in psychiatric assessment, and become experienced with a wide range of psychopharmacology, acute interventions, and duty status determinations. PGY2s will also rotate at Riverside Behavioral Health Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital for one of their inpatient rotation blocks to gain more experience with the civilian patient population, the severely mentally ill, and detox from a much wider variety of substances than that typically seen in the active-duty population.
Psychiatry ER/CL: The Psychiatric Emergency Room/Consult Liaison Service evaluates patients in the Emergency Medicine Department and those admitted to the medical and surgical teams requiring psychiatry services at NMCP. Residents become experienced with intensive but efficient psychiatric evaluation. As a PGY2, residents will lead the service under the supervision of an attending psychiatrist.
