Metropolitan State Hospital, Norwalk, California

Does anyone have any updated info regarding this site?

I found it had the following Affiliated programs

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (P) :
Los Angeles County-Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Program
Forensic Psychiatry (P) :
VA Greater Los Angeles/UCLA-San Fernando Valley Program

Does this mean that it is still approved in California as a greenbook rotation? I am not really sure where else to look for the status

Thanks

yes, it is affiliated with both of those programs as well as UC Irvine Psych Residency which makes it a greenbook rotation. Look at all of these under ACGME and you will find them.

We live about 21min away from the hospital and have a spare bedroom to rent. In a VERY safe area. Please let me know if you're interested.

I have a question for you and everyone else that's now into or beyond their 3rd year. Is it really possible to get all green rotations back to back if you are willing to jump around the country? I'm married and would prefer to do all green rotations in one area, or between 2 areas, but that does not seem possible if I want to end on time and make the match.

So I've been told if I want to get all green and finish on time I'll need to move around alot. But I've heard rumors that even if you are willing to move for all greens, you may still have up to a month in between certain rotations.

What's the truth?

Depending on how your rotations are set up, yes, you may possibly have time in-between. All hospitals have different start dates so there is a possibility you will have time in-between (say a week or two), even if your rotations are set up "back to back"

Anyhow, let's keep this thread strictly for posts related to Metropolitan State Hospital.

What is the best way to prepare? What are the hours like? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

my brother is probably going to be sent to metro. he is being sent as a result of a criminal case. we believe he has allowed the church he was a part of (cult) to lead him to this point. he no longer has hope....he awaits his death and hell. i was just wondering if metro has people that deal with this type of mind-control? we know that cults exist and take over the minds of bright, educated people. my brother has a master's degree and is very smart...i would never have thought he would fall prey to this type of group. like i said, just wondering if metro works with these types of cases or if we should look into private counseling/deprogramming. any info would be appreciated. we are at a loss as to where to go next. we want him to get the specific help he needs asap. thank you.
