Interns participating in a minor rotation through the University of 麻豆传媒高清 School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry Consultation Liaison (CL) Service will have exposure to a variety of clinical settings and experiences that align with an interest in health service psychology. The scope of the psychiatry consult service spans all of the inpatient medical services in the University of 麻豆传媒高清 Hospital. Licensed psychologists are members of the CL team and provide focused consultation and treatment on the Burn and Frost Bite Intensive Care Unit (BICU), the Solid Organ Transplant Center, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) and across inpatient medical units at the University of 麻豆传媒高清 Hospital (UCH).
Typically, patients are admitted to the hospital for treatment of medical conditions and may have co-occurring psychiatric conditions or psychosocial concerns that affect their medical care. These psychiatric concerns may be present prior to the patient’s admission to the hospital or may arise during the patient’s stay. The CL team consists of a rotating group of Department of Psychiatry Psychiatrists, Psychologists, as well as medical students, psychiatry residents, and psychiatry fellows. The patient’s medical team requests the services of the consult team when there is a psychiatric concern and the team will conduct an evaluation, make treatment recommendations, provide psychological services, and follow up with the patient as needed.
Supervisor’s approaches include Cognitive-Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Holistic/Integrated, Humanistic, Existential.
Patients through the consultation-liaison service represent a diverse group of adult patients that may include those with addiction, experiencing homelessness, and generally are representative of the Rocky Mountain West population.
Weekly supervision is provided to the Psychology Intern by a health psychologist for initial assessments, brief intervention, and psychotherapy. Supervision is conducted using a developmental approach so that the intern’s specific training needs are met. Interns begin by shadowing for orientation and then incrementally advance to a preceptor model. At least one hour of scheduled supervision is provided weekly to discuss cases and process one’s experiences.
