I recently started my psychiatry rotation and while overall I'm enjoying it and trying to do my best I also feel a bit lost. I have some psychology background, but the context was significantly more free form. We never were really given an overall structure for a psychiatric evaluation in my clinical medicine courses comparable to COLDERASS plus allergies, surgical history, etc. for medical concerns. I've read the relevant section of First Aid for Psychiatry, but it seems bare bones in that respect for where I'm at. Any tips, or recommendations for resources would be appreciated.
