Stanford School of Medicine PGY 2-3 Courses
Course Director: Amit Etkin, MD PhD
Core Course Instructors: Cara Bohon, PhD; Carrie Holmberg MD PhD; Thalia Robakis, MD PhD
Goal: Rooted in translational neuroscience, the overall aim of this course is to introduce participants to neuroscience research relevant to the practice of psychiatry. The material covered is organized largely by neurobehavioral systems in which abnormalities can be seen in one or multiple psychiatric disorders. Since this course is brain-focused and translational in its nature, this organization keeps topics maximally neurobiologically-coherent, but often not DSM diagnosis-restricted. In general, it is the hope of this course that neuroscience will be an important component of clinical decision-making and that residents will begin to develop a comfort with neuroscience that allows them to discuss it effectively with their patients.As such, one aim of this course is to illustrate how a broad understanding of translational neuroscience presents a different and complimentary perspective on mental illness to that offered by DSM or treatment-focused approaches.
