• The hospital rotation is 5 hours a week, for four months and takes place on the inpatient psychiatry unit.
• As an intern on Howard University Hospital Psychiatric Ward, interns are afforded the opportunity to gain exposure to an additional mental health care system through a close working relationship with psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, nursing staff, medical students, and patients.
• Interns are provided direct supervision with respect to their participation in the psychiatric unit activities and services. Each supervision session is coupled with theoretical and technique based readings.
