Clinical and Basic
Neuroscience Research
Training Program in Psychiatry

PG1 Year:
The Internship Year: Fundamentals of
Patient Care

In a general medical setting, the clinical neuroscientist/psychiatrist-in-training learns to:

• Formulate a differential diagnosis based on
  
  • thorough history
    
  • expert physical, neurological, and mental status exams
    
  • appropriate laboratory evaluations and
    
• Implement a course of treatment based on an understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder.

Required Rotations:
General medicine	6-8 months
Clinical Neurology	2 months

Applicants may also customize a separate one-year medical, surgical, or pediatric internship at a non-affiliated hospital of the applicant's choice. The applicant then enters the Program as a PG-2 NRTP resident after this internship year and, if necessary, completes a two-month neurology experience during the residency.
