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, 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 rotate through telemedicine, forensic psychiatry, long-term care home psychiatry consultation, and public sector outpatient service in the PGY-III year. Additionally, residents have a weekly clinic at the VA medical center where they receive direct supervision by a VA attending. Night call coverage is the same as in the PGY-II year, but is less frequent - averaging one and one-half times per month.
