PAS-6206 Behavioral/Mental Health Clinical Rotation

The five (5) week Behavioral/Mental Health rotation takes place in an outpatient, and/or inpatient behavioral health facility. The student will work collaboratively with the mental health team to evaluate and manage a range of behavioral/mental health issues. Through supervised patient contact, the student will develop the knowledge and attitudes necessary to provide ongoing and/or emergent support for this patient population. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing the roles that socioeconomics, family health history, and social interactions play in the course of behavioral/mental health conditions. In addition, students will develop an understanding of the barriers to treatment, as well as the support resources available within the community.
