Residents receive a rich exposure to forensic psychiatry during their residency. Barry Morenz, M.D. Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, is a Board-certified forensic psychiatrist who coordinates forensic experiences for the residents. He shares forensic responsibilities with Dr. Aimee Kaempf and Dr. Steven Herron. Residents have experience in their first and second years with civil commitment. During their third year, residents observe and participate in a wide variety of forensic evaluations, and receive a fifteen-week course in ethics and forensic psychiatry. The course is taught by Dr. Morenz. In the fourth year, residents may elect to receive more intensive exposure to forensic psychiatry. Finally, there are a number of psychologists and psychiatrists in the community and the department who do forensic consultations for various issues, both civil and criminal. These clinicians welcome residents to participate in their frequent evaluations.
