PSYC 448 - Consultation Psychiatry – Neuroscience

[152 Hours]

This four-week course is offered at two independent sites: the Interim LSU Public Hospital in New Orleans and Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge. At both sites, students participate in daily assessments and clinical rounds with the CL team. At the New Orleans site, students participate in an integrated rotation from the LSU departments of psychiatry, cell biology, anatomy, and pharmacology. Basic science concepts are reviewed and applied clinically to cases typically seen in the CL service of a large general hospital. The New Orleans location is also the principal training site for LSUHSC Psychiatry’s Psychosomatic Medicine fellowship. At the Baton Rouge site, students are expected to prepare a case presentation reviewing the medical literature and supporting recommendations of the CL team.
