I was wondering if anyone can tell me whether MS1's and MS2's typically have any opportunities to observe clinical sessions with actual patients at most medical schools. Is this usually done? Or are there strict confidentiality issues / behavioral regulations for the student that make it necessary to wait until the 3rd year psych rotation?
Obviously, I will ask the department at my particular med school when I matriculate in the fall, but I thought I might get some info from you all so I could figure out how best to ask/con them into letting me watch, etc. I'm extremely interested in the psychiatric interview and how physicians deal with different people, problems, and personality types.
Thanks for any info you could provide; much appreciated!
