    Welcome to our Psychiatric Clerkship: Resource Library for Medical Students. This library provides a comprehensive set of resources to assist medical students with their psychiatry training. The resources are organized in modules and lessons providing knowledge and guidance to develop skills in topics that range from Psychopathology and Psychiatric Disorders to clinical skills specific to psychiatry, such as history-taking and clinical reasoning.

    This library was developed based on the “Clinical Learning Objectives Guide for Psychiatry Education of Medical Students,” created by the Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry (ADMSEP). Like all NextGenU.org materials, this library was developed as a joint effort of expert instructional designers and subject matter experts in psychiatry and addiction. The subject matter experts involved in reviewing these materials are Scott Oakman MD, Ph.D.; Eduardo Bianco MD, MSc; Lucia Villalba MD; Gabriel Rossi MD; and Magali Collonnaz MD, MPH, MSc. Our instructional designers participating in the development of this library are Hugo Rojas, MD, MSc, DiplEd; Carolina Bustillos, MD, DiplEd; Pablo Baldiviezo, MD, DiplEd; and Reisha Narine, MSc, BSc. 

    This library is sponsored by the Annenberg Physician Training Program in Addiction Medicine. It uses resources from accredited, world-class organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, Association of American Medical Colleges, Cambridge University, International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and National Institute of Mental Health, among others.
