Psychiatry Rotation

Welcome to the Psychiatry Rotation at The Ohio State University Counseling and Consultation Service! As you consider your educational goals for your residency and fellowship training, you have options in how to use your elective time. The Psychiatry rotation at CCS allows residents and child and adolescent psychiatry fellows to build autonomy as an outpatient provider to Ohio State students. Our residents and fellows treat a wide variety of patient presentations while receiving supervision from our psychiatry team. This rotation provides psychiatry residents and fellows with the opportunity for an outpatient experience focused on the mental health of university students.

Rotations are available for residents and fellows from the Ohio State University Department of Psychiatry. The structure, timing and scheduling of the rotation is flexible with consideration given to the resident’s training goals and schedule, as well as the supervisor’s availability. Ideally this would be a four hour a week rotation for 12 months. However, this is flexible.   At this time, approximately 80% of the time is devoted to direct patient care with 20% devoted to a variety of training opportunities (including 60 minutes per week of individual supervision from a Senior Staff Psychiatrists).

The major emphasis of this rotation is providing psychiatric services to the university student population, both undergraduate and graduate students. This experience involves working in a multidisciplinary setting, with treatment of specific diagnoses common in this population. Residents may also meet individually with Senior Staff Psychologists, Social Workers, and Counselors to discuss particular areas of interest. CCS has a robust training program, so the opportunity to collaborate with other trainees is one of the unique features of this rotation.

Interested residents and fellows should contact their residency or fellowship training director. They can assist you in connecting with the Assistant Director of Psychiatry or a Senior Staff Psychiatrist at CCS to discuss your interest in the opportunity to rotate at CCS.
