The main educational method used in this rotation is patient-centered. Patients are initially seen by the resident; then, the resident discusses the case with the attending sleep specialist. After the initial discussion, both the attending and the resident examine the patient together to clarify or obtain any new relevant clinical history as well as to reassess the physical examination findings originally reported by the resident. Subsequently the resident and attending together formulate a management plan.
In addition, the resident is provided with extensive reading material mainly from peer reviewed scientific journals on diagnosis and treatment of major sleep disorders. Resident education is provided through direct supervision with each patient examined and through discussion with the attending physician of assigned reading materials and other relevant educational aspects.
Residents are exposed to a wide variety of sleep disorder conditions including sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder, hypersomnias, narcolepsy and various REM and NREM parasomnias. Below is an example two-year didactic series schedule for the residency.
All junior and senior residents attend lectures over that two-year cycle. Lectures are grouped around certain themes, such as basic and advanced psychopharmacology, cultural competence, diagnostic overview, etc. Psychotherapy is considered an important component of psychiatric treatment and emphasis is placed on appropriate training. The goal for residents at the end of training is to be able to do the following:. The psychotherapy training module consists of the following topics taught by various faculty members with expertise in each topic or therapy type.
The Department of Psychiatry at Penn State College of Medicine fosters an interest and respect for academic and scholarly traditions in several parallel activities. This is as an integral element in the residency training program even for those residents who do not foresee a career in academic medicine. Using any criteria by which scientific productivity is measured, the department excels, whether it is by external funding, number and quality of peer-reviewed publications, honors and eminence of its faculty, or engagement by resident trainees in scholarly activity.
Learn more about departmental faculty and their research interests here. In addition, the department boasts research groups in basic and clinical neuroscience, mood and psychotic disorders, behavioral disorders in children and adolescents, suicide predictors and autism, to name a few. Residents in the program have the opportunity to collaborate with nationally recognized faculty as they develop and pursue their own individual research projects.
During regular weekly didactics, the residents are exposed to several active researchers, and also gain knowledge about assessing research publications from scheduled didactic activities such as Journal Club and Evidence-Based Medicine EBM sessions, in which the residents review publications for presentation to their peers under faculty mentorship. In parallel with these activities, residents are encouraged to begin planning for their own scholarly projects.
Residents can select a longitudinal elective of one afternoon or more each week over three to six months in their PGy-3 or PGY-4 years, to complete their research. Residents have presented their work at all of these levels in recent years.
To foster and support these scholarly activities, in addition to providing regular faculty mentorship to all residents, the program provides funding to cover the cost of poster production, fixed yearly Educational Support funds and time to all residents for conference and meeting attendance costs, and supplemental educational award funding for residents who present their work at the national level.

Supervision may be direct with the supervisor seeing the patient together with the resident , indirect with the supervisor present in the clinical setting immediately available or general such as psychotherapy supervision which may occur off-site and either before or after the relevant clinical encounter.
Supervision is provided by faculty-level professionals, and may include physicians, psychologists and licensed clinical social workers. It may occur as one-to-one, with one resident and one supervisor, or in a group format with one supervisor and two to four residents.
All residents, throughout their PGY-1 through PGY-4 training years, receive regular supervision experiences while on psychiatry rotations. For PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents on psychiatry rotations, supervision is direct on inpatient rotations where, during daily rounds, the resident and attending see the patients together.
During their PGY-1 and PGY-2 years, each resident also receives a separate one hour per week of individual supervision with the rotation attending. One hour is general longitudinal supervision, for topics involving clinical management, residency experience and professional development. The second hour is dedicated to psychotherapy supervision.
In the outpatient clinic setting, which is the main clinical setting for PGY-3 and PGY-4 residents, each three-hour clinic morning or afternoon has direct or indirect supervision with an on-site attending during the clinic block.
In addition, for each three-hour clinic, residents also receive one hour of supervision, consisting of one attending and two to four residents, at the end of the clinic block. For residents assigned to clinic both in the morning and afternoon, this would equal two hours of group supervision for the day. In addition, residents who are undertaking scholarly projects may receive additional unscheduled supervision, usually one-to-one with faculty who are advising and mentoring the residents during poster and publication preparation.
In addition to the supervision modalities described above, the program offers a separate mentorship program for all residents throughout their training. This mentorship is aimed at additional guidance from faculty as residents advance toward independence and in preparing for their post-residency careers. Topics pertaining to fellowships, practice types and settings, developing special clinical areas of expertise and general career planning are examples of what might be discussed in the mentoring relationship.
