Abstract
Paul Rodenhauser M.D. 1 1 Academic and Counseling Services; Tulane University School of Medicine; Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana All students (N = 185) in 8 consecutive rotations within a private Southern school's multisite, inpatient-based psychiatry clerkship completed a survey of perceived educational experiences while assigned to 1 of 5 part-time outpatient services (usable response rate 82%). The rural community mental health center (CMHC) students reported increased 1) appreciation for the nature and implications of psychiatric disorders; 2) appreciation for treatment effectiveness; 3) interest, enjoyment, and hopefulness; 4) firsthand experience with patient evaluation and treatment; 5) community treatment resource information; and 6) teaching model helpfulness. The rural CMHC and Veterans Affairs Medical Center students reported a learning model based on experience. The rural CMHC and university student mental health service better exemplified the biopsychosocial treatment approach. Note: The author thanks Barry D. Schwartz, Ph.D., for his technical assistance.Preview Only. This article cannot be rented because we do not currently have permission from the publisher.
