Adena Health
Psychiatry Residency Program
Formal didactics consist of a shared Noon Conference as well as psychiatry-specific didactic education. Both take place on Tuesday afternoon from 12:00-4:30 p.m. The time for these required educational experiences is protected for each resident, which means the resident’s clinical responsibilities are handed over to his/her attending to allow for optimal learning without interruption. The group also uses this time to teach core and visiting medical students.
Every Tuesday, residents from all of Adena Health System’s GME programs convene for a didactics session on a topic relevant to all specialties. Recurring Noon Conference series sessions include M&M Conference, Business of Medicine, Critical Care Bounceback, Resident Wellbeing, and Resident Forum.
Presentations are given by physicians from Adena Medical Group, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (courtesy of the Outreach & Engagement Program), Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and several other hospital systems throughout the country. PRITE Prep and Board Prep are also incorporated into the schedule. Journal club occurs monthly.
Residents are divided into smaller groups for monthly psychotherapy lectures. These presentations are given by various psychologists from the Chillicothe Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Each week during the protected educational time, residents meet with the program director and program manager to discuss any residency-specific topics. Once a month, the chief residents lead a resident-only round table discussion.
