Conferences

Every Tuesday the psychiatry department hosts grand rounds for all its sections. Psychiatry also hosts a department-wide journal club at noon on Fridays with lunch provided. Geriatric psychiatry holds a journal club/case conference monthly and holds a quarterly case conference with addiction psychiatry. In addition to these offerings, a directed reading syllabus of curated, original source references, covering the gamut from seminal articles in the field to cutting-edge research. All have been selected to stay up to date and to stimulate discussion about what makes both geriatric patients and our sub-specialty’s approach to evaluating and treating them different.
