Academics: Didactics
To supplement the clinical experience, each post-graduate year contains
weekly didactic seminars that enable the residents to build a solid foundation
of knowledge. During these seminars, attending physicians cover the residents'
clinical duties in order to protect this educational time, thus allowing the
residents to learn free of the distraction from clinical services.
Other didactic experience is provided through clinical conferences, grand
rounds, and journal clubs, psychoanalytic psychotherapy seminars, cognitive
behavioral seminars, and psychopharmacology seminars.
The strong didactics offered at UCI help explain why UCI Psychiatry residents
continue to excel each year on the national PRITE exams as well as on the board
certification exams.

"Core lectures are an integral part of our
training at UCI. Although there is much on-the-job learning during our
rotations, it is critical to have structured teaching on the different topics.
As interns, we are learning the basics in pharmacotherapy, various psychiatric
disorders, and other subjects such as ethics and professionalism. My
favorite, however, are the psychotherapy sessions with Dr. Sporty.
In our second and third years, we have
a series of more in-depth lectures in both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy.
Our didactics are designed to give a comprehensive overview of all the different
aspects of psychiatry, and I have confidence that our graduates are some of the
most competitive candidates out in the world of psychiatry."
