Psychiatric – Site Evaluation Presentation Summary

My site evaluator was Dr. Saint Martin, and both meetings were done virtually with 2 of my classmates who were also on psychiatry rotation. I choose two of the 3 cases to present. The first case was a patient with depression and schizophrenia, and the second case was a patient with acute psychosis following a traumatic event. I chose these two cases because followed them from admission to CPEP to discharge or admission to the inpatient unit. After each student presented their case, Dr. Saint Martin will ask questions relevant to the case and provide feedback regarding differential diagnosis and treatment. I also presented a journal article about the efficacy of a combination of ECT and clozapine in clozapine-resistant schizophrenia. Dr. Saint Martin was knowledgeable and shared his insight on the H&Ps and journal articles. It was also interesting to listen to other students’ cases. Overall, the site evaluations were very beneficial in helping me better understand some of the most common psychiatric conditions and treatment plans.
