Number of hours per week required: DESCRIBE SPECIFIC SITE REQUIREMENTS: SHORT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (250 words or less): CLINICAL DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM Client Population(s): Treatment Modality: Assessment Types: Theoretical Orientation: The Medical Psychology/Consultation/Liaison Service provides hospital-wide psychological services to the surgical, trauma, psychiatric inpatient, and medical units (e.g. OB/GYN, oncology, transplant) in Jackson Memorial Hospital, where a full range of complex medical and psychiatric issues are encountered. Psychological consultation may be requested based on pre-existing psychiatric issues, current distress, management issues, poor adherence to treatment, to establish capacity to provide informed consent, and/or provide a wide range of psychological interventions depending on the reason for consultation and presenting problem. Practicum students will learn the rapid assessment of medically compromised patients, and be able to render a diagnosis, treatment, and disposition in medical areas that are intense and require rapid decision-making and follow up. During the initial assessment, practicum students may conduct clinical interviews and incorporate brief assessment measures as needed to arrive at diagnostic impressions and treatment recommendations. In some cases, such as with pre and/or post transplant patients, brief neurocognitive testing may be required to assist organ transplantation teams to decide on candidacy for the surgical procedure. Except for certain cases (e.g. involving the assessment of capacity) practicum students may follow their patients throughout the course of hospitalization. Practicum students learn to collaborate with medical teams and write consultation reports and progress notes that are geared to assist them in the management of their patients. Practicum students will be provided with reading assignments targeting on differential diagnosis and the more common psychiatric presentations of certain medical illnesses and/or drug-induced clinical presentations. Consultation is also provided to inpatient psychiatry units, involving assessment of high risk patients and the provision of psychological interventions. ✔ 2nd: 15 hours Drug Screening costs between $35-50.
