Start my first psychiatry sub-i at a university program in a week. Definitely set on applying to psychiatry next year and really want to use this month to get a good letter from a big program.
I'm reading through a general psychiatry book right now, but what am I going to be expected to do from day 1? I feel like my ability to conduct a smooth patient interview could be much improved. I received mostly honors in third year and am able to converse well with people, but the psychiatric interview is still a work in progress.
Is there going to be a big step up in what was expected from my third year rotation (I realize this is hard to answer, but in general) to my first sub-i?
Any other bits that could help me do well and/or get a good letter? Any specific pocket guides or apps to carry with me? Thanks so much.
