Dear fellow Resident/Psychiatrists,

I am currently looking for some non-textbook multimedia Source for self-learning Psychiatry on top of my clinical experience. I noticed that there was a Board review live course for psychiatry across different states but do any of those have Commercially available recoded Lectures in DVD or online streaming format? As I am personally more receptive to audiovisual than textbook.

thanks heaps!!

U Pitt made one on DVD, and its quite expensive. Don't know if they're going to continue to update it since its a few years old.

While it was complete, I didn't like it. Most of the lecturers were boring.

Kaplan has a weapon AKA Conrad Fischer, M.D. who makes Internal Medicine lectures quite fun, he tells you what you need to know, you'll actually retain the info, and separates the test bull from clinical reality-actually making you a better clinician.

But the Pitt videos, it was lecturers mentioning the things at a very slow speed, and not emphasizing what had to be known, nor giving it that charismatic humane twist. It was as if the person was just reading off a list.

Of course this was just my experience. Others learn better through different modalities.

Which one is better?
Olser's review or the Psy Board Review in Atlanta by Oakstone?

thanks!

Unfortuately Fischer doesn't do psychiatry. He does IM through Kaplan, and I believe he practices at Mammonaides in NYC.

I mentioned him because IMHO that's the type of video series I'd want to see vs the drab, boring type of lecture where the lecturer is not enthusiastic, and just reading data off a list.

The U Pitt DVD series is the only one I know of for the psychiatry board exam.
