I browse these forums a lot, and now I decide it was time to start posting.
So, I’m throwing this down as I want to let everyone know how awesome IU Psychiatry Program is. There are many awesome things, and if I missed something, feel free to ask me.
The general stuff before I talk about the PGY years:
First, and foremost, we are located at the Neuroscience Center of Excellence, aka, Goodman Hall. This is a brand new building housing Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Psychiatry, and has clinics in addition for PM&R. This facility is super nice, we have plenty of space, our own huge rooms to see patients, have a multidisciplinary grand rounds(neurosurgery, neurology, psych and PM&R) and we have our own psychiatry grand rounds; also everything is high tech.
Major facilities that we use/rotate through and have at our disposal(since we are the only psychiatric program in the state, we have a domination in all the facilities)
-Goodman Hall/ Neuroscience Center of Excellence
-Larue State Psychiatric Hospital
-Veterans Affairs Hospital
-Eskenazi Hospital (brand new huge county hospital built last year)
-Midtown Mental Health
-University Hospital
-Riley Children’s Hospital
-Methodist Hospital
Faculty/Staff
-Definitely provide a good education
-Program director is very supportive of whatever ambitions you have, including research, organizational medicine, going into a whatever fellowship you desire, therapy, just clinic work or whatever the heck you can think of. Her goal is to get you to be the best possible psychiatrist, so when you go out into whatever you want to do, you can represent psychiatry well. In addition, she fights for the residents, as she is a huge proponent of education and not busy work. It’s pretty awesome how she really supports the residents. Lastly, if someone needs to go through residency part time, that is something that the PD is very open to.
-Opportunities to moonlight are vast if you decide this is something you want to do; our program director sees this as a great learning opportunity if you decide to do this.
-Some of the faculty rake in tons of grant money, and other faculty like to focus on clinical work.
-Our Chair is a huge TBI specialist, given talks at conferences, on NPR, etc.
-Additions fellowship program director also gives talks, goes on NPR, etc.
-We have a clinic called PARC: Prevention and Recovery Center for Early Psychosis. This clinic is one of few in the nation; really complicated and interesting cases
PGY years:
-ALL years have half day protected for didactics specific to their PGY year(regardless if you are off service)
-In addition: ALL years(regardless if you are off service) have 3 hours on Friday Protected for 1h for Grand Rounds, 1h Resident Business meeting, and 1 hour of all level PGY powerhour(kind of like didactics)
-Have plenty of interaction with the IU medical students for teaching if that’s what you like to do
-We have optional tracks if you want to go into Research or Education
-Awesome parking privileges 🙂
PGY 1: in no particular order:
-6 months of ACGME required non-psychiatric(off service) rotations: 1 month in Emergency Med, 3 months Internal Med, 2 Months Neurology
-6 months Inpatient (PGY 1 call only during these months)
2 months Inpatient Psych at Veterans Affairs Hospital
2 months Inpatient Psych at Larue State Psychiatric Hospital
2 months Inpatient Psych at Eskenazi Hospital
PGY 2: in no particular order:
-6 month block of outpatient:
Addiction Psychiatry(roughly 2 days/week), Geriatric Psychiatry(roughly 1 day/week), QI/Patient Safety(roughly 0.5 days/week), CBT(roughly 1 day/week)
-6 month block of:
Emergency Psychiatry, ECT, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (inpatient), Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Consult-Liaison), Adult Consult-Liaison Psychiatry, Forensic Psychiatry
PGY 3:
-All outpatient clinics of whatever you like. We have soooooo many options(because of so many facilities) its kind of awesome as we can be broad and try everything, or focus on certain areas, or try something that just tickles our fancy.
-1 required Clinic: 0.5 day/ week: Primary Care Clinic: its an Integrative Model of psychiatry. GPs/Non psych residents see patients, and if they cannot handle the mental health aspect of it, then you are right there in the clinic as the specialist to see the patient.
-Also, have 2 psychodynamic psychotherapy patients for this year
-Can get TMS certified as we have our own TMS machine in the Goodman Hall clinic
-We have 1 full day/week for elective time. Since we are housed in a multidisciplinary neuroscience building, we can coordinate with other specialties to be in their clinics (for example, if you have an interest in neuropsych, you can coordinate with neurology for some kind of neurology clinic)
PGY 4: ALL ELECTIVE TIME!!! ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO
- No sure exactly what to say here. Pretty self explanatory.
Call:
PGY 1: Usually once during the work week, sometimes twice during the work week, from 4:30pm to 10pm.
PGY 2: 24 hour call with the next day being post call, roughly every 6 days.
PGY3&4: back up call in case of emergency (roughly 2 weeks out of every 6 months)
Other stuff:
-Cost of living is ridiculously cheap! I cannot emphasize this enough!
-Feel free to ask questions. Or PM me if you want to ask something personal
-We do have a website also. I don’t know if I can post if here, but if you literally Google psychiatry indaina, you can find it. Lol.
