Practical: Psychiatric Anamnesis

Volledige vakbeschrijving

Students will practise obtaining a patient anamnesis (more specifically, anamnesis of the various complaints and symptoms and a mental status examination), determining DSM-diagnoses, and writing a report. They will do so by means of a preparation lecture, instruction materials, literature and practising with each other and with simulation patients. The practical consists of four 3-hour meetings lead by an experienced trainer. At every meeting, students will be given the opportunity to apply the acquired techniques to simulation patients with various psychiatric disorders. Finally, they will write a report based on the information provided. This practical course will be evaluated on attendance (100%) and a passing grade for the anamnesis report.
