My experience
Just finished a 6 weeks rotation. It was great. You work in different areas of psych. ER was my absolute favorite. Residents are great and love to teach. You rotate with SGU and UMDNJ (sometimes). I only rotated with SGU. They were great we got along like one big family. There was about 12 of us. You have to do two presentations. One was a topic you pick, the other is a patient you pick. Very laid back. You do have lectures once-twice weekly. You have grand rounds, both medical and psych each week. You have one hour of "self-study" time in the afternoon when the residents are in lecture. The director does keep close tabs on the students and residents BUT he's got over 40 years experience as a psychiatrist and is a great teacher.

hmmm
After reading all the reviews, I was pretty excited to start this rotation.........
I Just finished several weeks ago and to sum up my feelings let me just say I thought it was very overrated. The other posts are pretty accurate in detailing the rotation overall, and Im sure things were a little different (some policies and stuff have changed from what I hear) You do rotate in different units, including ER each week. Grand rounds on Tues and Wed. Daily lectures, self study time, and 2 powerpoint presentations. However....I'll be honest the lectures were a big dissapointment. Im sorry but for the most part they were pathetic. There was probably 1 or 2 specific lectures that I thought were really well done and helped us, but the vast majority feel like a waste of time. Self study time was taken away from us after the first week, since the director felt as if we didnt have enough lectures.....Although this evened out as the rotation progressed, because many of the lecturers started to just not show up for their designated time. In terms of the rotations...ER Psych is actually really cool. I mean, this 1 week makes the entire rotation worth it. If you didnt get it (some students didnt, totally at random) then the rest of the 5 weeks would just seem painfull. Call isnt bad at all. You are on about 4x for the entire rotation...and its just short call from about 5-8 pm, or a weekend morning call (9-1pm). Bottom line though....is that I did (surprisingly) learn A LOT about Psych...more than I thought I hoped to. Ever since Sem 3 on the island anything related to behavioral science, never seemed to want to sink in....until this rotation, which is the big plus. I mean I dont know how other psych rotations are so I cant comment. But like i said you do learn alot (which is the ultimate reason we are in rotations) AND its only 6 weeks. This is just a brief concise review...anyone else want more information regarding living near Paramus or commuting, etc just message me. Last edited by AxlFoley; 05-05-2007 at 12:38 PM.

I did my psych here last year at this time, and I thought it was one of the best rotations I have ever done, and I am not intested in pyschiatry. The didactics are great, the material is high yield board oriented. You see a great deal of cases that you would not see in other psych rotations. Plus, US students rotate here too, so you know the quality has to be decent.
