What is a good way to prepare for Psych residency starting in a month? I've not taken any electives in psychiatry as a medical student, so I feel anxious about not knowing enough come July.

No psych electives? A bit strange, but whatever...

Go through kaplan/sadock (u don't need to read the whole thing, just the major chapters like schizo, mood disorders, anxiety, and pharm), and make sure u know how to do a psych history in your sleep (not that difficult once u've done a few). In reality u have more than a month, since i'm assuming u have to do your 4 months of medicine first.
