Residents As Teachers
Medical student teaching is an important component of the GW psychiatry residency. The GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences provides strong medical student education in the behavioral sciences, and as many as 10% of the GW graduating class enter psychiatry residencies each year. During each residency year, our residents provide lectures, clinical supervision, and mentoring for third and fourth year medical students rotating in our clinical services and training sites. Our senior psychiatry residents lead discussion groups with third year medical students following lectures in the medical student curriculum.
