Abstract

All students (N = 185) in 8 consecutive rotations within a private Southern schools multisite, inpatient-based psychiatry clerkship completed a survey of perceived educational experiences while assigned to 1 of 5 part-time outpatient services (usable response rate 82%). The rural community mental health center (CMHC) students reported increased 1) appreciation for the nature and implications of psychiatric disorders; 2) appreciation for treatment effectiveness; 3) interest, enjoyment, and hopefulness; 4) firsthand experience with patient evaluation and treatment; 5) community treatment resource information; and 6) teaching model helpfulness. The rural CMHC and Veterans Affairs Medical Center students reported a learning model based on experience. The rural CMHC and university student mental health service better exemplified the biopsycho-social treatment approach.
