Students will complete a 6-week (240 hour) advanced clinical practicum in a psychiatric health care setting. This practicum can occur after completion of the foundational practicums in general medine and general psychiatry with passing grades. Students will apply skills learned in previous coursework and practicums for contributing meaningfully, productively, and safely to direct patient care. Students will be exposed to a variety of patient conditions in order to experience a unique psychiatry experience that will serve to build their expertise for application to other psychiatric practices in Canada.
