Psychiatry Clerkship Guide

This guide equips you with the practical core knowledge you need to manage the patients youre most likely to see during your psychiatry clerkship. Brief enough to read from cover to cover, yet thorough enough to address virtually all the challenges you might face, Psychiatry Clerkship Guide is just the tool you need to succeed. Broken into three sections, the book first introduces you to basic skills and concepts, including ethics, history, physical examination, and developmental assessment. It then goes on to describe specific psychiatric health conditions, organized by presentation (symptom, sign, abnormal lab value) and by diagnosis-allowing you to approach a problem from either direction.
