MASTER OF SCIENCE with a major in Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences

The teaching program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences provides the medical student with an awareness of psychiatric problems as they are experienced in the practice of medicine, regardless of whether the student plans a general or specialty practice. Students become familiar with the social, psychodynamic, behavioral, and biological factors involved in the development of personality, emotional conflicts, and psychopathology. Additionally, they are taught to recognize the importance of the emotional aspects in the doctor-patient relationship. The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences is active in the teaching of the medical student throughout four years of training with a required clinical clerkship occurring in the third year.   Clinical psychiatry rotations are conducted at the Detroit Receiving Hospital, Harper Hospital, Providence Hospital, Sinai Hospital, University Psychiatric Centers, and Veterans' Administration Medical Center.
