Social and cultural psychiatry (semester 2)
Professor D O'Connor and Dr Eng Seong Tan
Synopsis Seminars aim to present candidates with perspectives that may
not have been prominent in their hospital-based psychiatric training to date.
Topics include the study of mental disorder in other cultures; the practice of
psychiatry in a multi-cultural setting; the basic principles of epidemiology
and the association between mental disorder and social events and
relationships. Candidates are asked to prepare presentations on key areas thus
promoting self-directed learning of the theoretical and clinical aspects of
this subject.
