MEDICAL STUDENT ELECTIVES

Psychiatry electives and acting internships are available for University of Kentucky medical students in their 4th year. The department is very flexible in designing an elective to meet individual student interests. Electives include the following: PSC 841 – Psychiatry Selective (General Psychiatry rotation), PSC 842 – Child and Adolescent Psychiatry elective, PSC 876 – Triple Board elective (Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry), and PSC 869 – Psychiatry Research.

Possible elective options are listed below:

(1) Pediatrics Acting Internship (for applicants with interest in the Triple Board program): one month, including inpatient and outpatient experience - this is arranged through the Department of Pediatrics.

(2) Psychiatry Acting Internship: Adult or Child Psychiatry, which would include inpatient and outpatient time. Arranged through the General Psychiatry and Child Psychiatry Chief residents.

(3) Triple Board Elective: (Note this month is actually an elective - it does not function as an acting internship.) During this month you have a chance to work in all three training components: usually 2 weeks in Pediatrics- outpatient and/or inpatient; 1 week in adult Psychiatry and 1 week in child Psychiatry. The actual rotation sites may differ slightly for each student based on availability and a particular student’s interests.
