Psychiatry Club

Hey Psych enthusiasts!

Welcome to the Psychiatry Club! We are excited to show you all the possibilities this specialty holds. 

In the upcoming year, we'll host talks covering topics such as: "Intro to Psychiatry" where you'll learn more about psychiatry as a specialty and its subspecialties; a mixer with psychiatry residents and staff where you'll learn about the CARMs application process first-hand and the psych lifestyle; collaborations with other student groups (such as the Emerg Club and Peer Support); and more! We'll have residents and physicians join us for some of these talks with dedicated Q and A periods, so you can have a chance to ask them all those burning questions about matching and what life in psych is like. We may host other events like a therapy dog event, mental health workshops, or wellness initiatives. If you have any specific requests or ideas please send them our way! 

We'll also provide you with an updated list of contacts for shadowing and completing elective hours should you choose to do an elective in psychiatry.  

Whether you're set on psychiatry or just interested in learning more, you're all more than welcome to join. Please feel free to shoot us an email if you have any questions, and stay tuned for clubs fair where you can sign-up for our mailing list to find out about upcoming events! We are super "psych-ed" to be your club leaders this year and to meet you all!

Best,

Sophie Lalonde-Bester (lalondeb@ualberta,ca), Rachael Dong (dong2@ualberta.ca), Newsha Mahinpey (newsha@ualberta.ca)
