Training Experience
Interns matched with NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi complete at least one 4-month inpatient rotation and two 4-month elective rotations. The elective rotation can be on one of the following sites: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Center/Detox, Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Assessment Service, Psycho-Oncology, Adult/Pediatric Consultation Liaison Service and Bariatric Surgery Program. The Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program is an additional training option that can be combined with one of the other elective rotations.
Year-long outpatient placements at Jacobi are available on the Adult/Geriatric Outpatient Service, Psycho-Oncology, the Family Advocacy Program or Adult and Pediatric Comprehensive Services. The ideal caseload consists of 5 individual cases, 1 group and 1 family/couple. All services include collaboration with a multidisciplinary team.
Interns matched with NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx spend two four-month rotations on the two short-term inpatient units as a therapist carrying up to five patients. They can elect a four month rotation on either the Partial Hospital Program or the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP). Throughout the year, interns carry three to four outpatient therapy cases, conduct intake assessments and co-lead an outpatient group. On all rotations, interns make regular presentations of their cases to the larger treatment team with emphasis being placed on a collaborative approach to patient care. Interns also co-lead inpatient therapy groups and do family work/therapy on both the inpatient and outpatient sites.
Some of the core features of the program are:
- Psychological Testing
- Supervision
- Seminar
- Didactics
