WMC Medication Questionnaire

This form is used by a medication management group for an initial comprehensive med review for patients with mental illness (or any other patient). The patient completes the form before our visit, along with a PHQ-9, so we can focus on identifying and solving their medication related concerns at the time of the visit.

Psychiatry intern/resident orientation handout

Attached you will find a pdf of of the powerpoint I use to orient the incoming psychiatry resident physicians before they begin in July. I usually have 3 sessions. The first is introduction to our department, how to write orders, and helpful facility policies/forms. The second session is a training on movement disorder assessments with video. The third session is basic psychotropic information, including monitoring, toxicities, etc.
I also give them a folder with lots of info - some facility specific, some general.
