Residents return to inpatient rotations in the third year after having the new skill and perspective of the outpatient year. This approach helps to build on their earlier experiences. They also will develop skills in collaborating with our medical colleagues to provide psychiatric expertise. This includes consultation/liaison at
Ascension Saint Michael's Hospital, a general medical surgical hospital in Stevens Point. In addition, there is an Integrative Psychiatry Consultation Liaison rotation where residents will be embedded in the
Tomah VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic's primary care clinic in Wausau.
In each of the PGY3 and PGY4 years, residents will continue to follow outpatients for a minimum of 1⁄2 day per week. This will include both medication follow-up, long-term psychotherapy or a combination of the two. In addition to on-site supervisors, each resident will have two psychiatrists assigned for oversight supervision of medication and psychotherapy treatment. This allows residents to treat outpatients continuously over three years.
