Program Curriculum
PGY1 and PGY2
Clinical rotations include direct patient care in family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, neurology, intensive outpatient and partial hospital programs, inpatient adult psychiatry (including acute, women's, and general units), consult-liaison psychiatry, emergency psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, addictions, and inpatient and/or outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry.
Rotations occur at Orange Park Hospital, Memorial Hospital - Jacksonville, Wekiva Springs Center, Gateway Community Services, Wolfson's Children's Hospital, and various private practices.
PGY3
This is a traditional psychiatry outpatient year, with 50% time at our Behavioral Health Outpatient Clinic and 50% of the time with community partners, many of which faculty have specialty boards, including addiction medicine, forensics, child and adolescent psychiatry, and/or interventional components to their practices. Our focus is on evidence-based adult psychopharmacology and psychotherapy in a highly supervised practice setting, including one designed specifically for psychiatry residents on the Orange Park Hospital campus. Community practices allow for real-world experiences in practice management and child adolescent and interventional techniques, and research matched to the resident by interest.
PGY4
The fourth year encourages more independence and advanced skill development with experiences in community and administrative psychiatry, our intensive outpatient/partial hospital program, ECT/TMS, and a variety of electives, including geriatrics, child and adolescent psychiatry, palliative care, pain, adjunct clinical psychotherapy, and addictions. There is also an option to obtain a community psychiatry fellowship certificate with a 6-month experience at Sulzbacher Center.
