The entire PGY-III year is an outpatient rotation at the University Medical Center psychiatry outpatient clinic. The year focuses on the development of psychotherapy skills and the psychopharmacologic management of outpatients. Through individual supervision, case conferences and seminars, residents are expected to be familiar with pharmacological treatment, short-term and long-term dynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, and couples and family therapies for the treatment of the major mental disorders. PGY-III residents are expected to co-facilitate one outpatient therapy group during the year. Residents receive on average five hours of individual supervision each week. Residents also rotate through forensic psychiatry and public sector outpatient service in the PGY-III year. Additionally, residents have a weekly half-day clinic at the VA Medical Center where they receive direct supervision by a VA attending. PGY-III's cover weekend call responsibilities for the first portion of the academic year, until all of the PGY-I's have been sufficiently trained to take call.
