POSTGRADUATE JUNIOR RESIDENCY IN PSYCHIATRY

I worked as a Postgraduate Junior Resident in a supervised specialty training course at the National Institute of Mental Health And Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India from May 2008 – April 2011.

National Institute of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India is a premier postgraduate training centre. NIMHANS is well known for its quality training, teaching and research in Psychiatry and other subspecialties of Neurosciences in India and South-East Asia. Established during earlier part of 20th century, NIMHANS has upgraded itself as regards infrastructure, services, training standards and research from time to time and has been functioning as a Deemed University since 1994.

NIMHANS offers clinical services in specialties of Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery. The Institute offers postgraduate courses in Psychiatry, Neurology, Neurosurgery and other Basic & Allied Neurosciences. The institute is recognized by World Health Organization as regional training centre for professionals in area of mental health. There are excellent opportunities in area of research connected to various branches of neurosciences under supervised programs. Admission to the course in this esteemed institute is based on a written entrance examination (MCQ type questions) given by over six thousand students.

Department of Psychiatry comprises of 6 Adult psychiatry units, De-addiction unit and the Child and adolescent psychiatry unit. Each unit has 4 full time Consultants, 2 full time senior residents, and 10 full time Junior residents undergoing postgraduate training in psychiatry. All 8 units are supported by Departments of Psychiatric Nursing, Clinical Psychology, Psychiatric Social Work, Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Family Psychiatry Team, Behaviour Medicine Team and Community Services unit in providing comprehensive care. Functional psychiatry team consists of psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, psychiatric social worker, psychiatric nurses, and postgraduate trainees of all these specialties.

Psychiatry department offers following clinical services:

Out Patient Department (OPD) services consisting of walk-in-clinic for diagnostic

screening, detailed evaluation of patients under consultant psychiatrist’s supervision. The department runs special clinics for Drug De-addiction, Child and Adolescent population, Geriatric population and Special weekly clinics (Obsessive-compulsive disorder clinic, Schizophrenia clinic, HIV clinic, perinatal psychiatric clinic and clinic for mentally challenged population).

In-patient services consist of more than 750 beds exclusively for mentally ill patients. These comprise of General adult psychiatry wards, Intensive Care Units, Acute psychiatry wards (Locked units), Chronic or long stay ward, De-addiction centre, Family psychiatry centre, and Child & Adolescent psychiatry centre.

Round the clock Emergency services for acutely disturbed psychiatric patients and psychiatric emergencies.

Consultation Liaison services for medically or surgically ill patients having co-morbid psychiatric ailments.

Community Mental Health Services provide services to people in surrounding districts of Bangalore and conducts every month six Neuro-psychiatric extension clinics in rural and remote country regions.

Facilities for detailed Neuro-radiological, Neuro-physiological, Biochemical, Microbiological and Pathological investigations are available round the clock.

Interventions such as Modified Electro Convulsive Therapy, rTMS, Sudarshan Kriya Yoga, Ayurveda, etc. are available for patients.

THE TRAINING PROGRAM:

The training program in psychiatry was developed under the guidance of Mayer-Gross Slater in 1956 and has been upgraded over the time. The department runs Diploma in Psychiatry (DPM) and Doctor of Medicine (MD) in psychiatry courses. Academic exercises involved case presentations, discussions, journal clubs and seminars. These exercises were conducted at the unit level and at department level separately, giving ample learning opportunities for trainees. Lectures were conducted in areas of basic neurosciences, behaviour sciences, clinical psychology and biostatistics. Twice weekly outpatient clinic and regular ward rounds provided required clinical exposure and training. The M.D. training program included postings in:

Adult Psychiatry: This consisted of rotation among the 6 adult psychiatry units every 3 months. It involved outpatient and inpatient services with biweekly rounds supervised by the senior resident and the head of the unit. Every week I would work-up 3 -4 new cases and follow up 50 - 60 cases in the outpatient department. This meant that over the period of training in adult psychiatry I would have worked up nearly 450 new cases and followed up nearly 5000 cases. Similarly, I would be responsible for clinical care of 10-15 inpatients on a daily basis. Outpatients consisted of patients covering full gamut of psychiatric disorders. As NIMHANS is a tertiary care centre and caters to diverse groups of patients from all walks of life, therefore patients with a wide variety of problems are seen. This mandates a broad based approach to diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric and neuropsychiatric disorders including a transcultural perspective. Predominant diagnoses were Schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses, Bipolar Disorders, Major depressive disorders, Somatoform disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic disorder, Substance related disorders, Dementia and Child & Adolescent disorders. Detailed assessment involved interviewing patients, diagnostic formulation, drawing a management plan (short term and long term), and execution of proposed management plan under supervision of consultant psychiatrist.

Inpatients consisted of acutely ill patients, treatment resistant patients and those with

diagnostic problems. Most common diagnoses of inpatients included psychotic spectrum disorders, bipolar disorders, major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and dissociative disorders. During this posting, I had Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT) duties every fortnight and 24 hours duty in Outpatient and Emergency Psychiatric Services once in two weeks. I have administered modified ECT in approximately 50 sessions to around 15 – 20 psychiatric patients per session. The roster also included training in forensic psychiatry (3 months), geriatric psychiatry (6 months) and attending the various specialty clinics (3 months each).

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: This is the one of the few set-ups in India with 40 inpatient beds for child psychiatry. I would be working up around 3 new cases of mental retardation and 3 new cases of child psychiatry in a week. Besides this, I would work up and oversee the care of 4 - 6 children admitted in the wards with their families. I also would be involved in follow up of around 40 child cases per week. All cases were regularly discussed with the Senior Resident and Consultants of child psychiatry and allied fields. Over a period of three months, I worked up nearly 40 - 50 cases of mental retardation and 40 - 50 cases of child and adolescent psychiatry. I was also involved in psychological management and spent one day in the Art and Play Therapy section and one day in the child outpatient clinic for brief psychotherapeutic work, every week. I have also done psycho education and grief work with the parents of mentally ill children.

Neurology and Neuroradiology: The posting included new cases and follow-up at outpatient clinic; inpatient workups and clinical rounds; and a weekly 24-hour emergency duty. I would see both core neurology cases as well as neuro-psychiatric cases. During the training period, I worked up 70-75 neurology and neuropsychiatry cases and followed up 250-300 cases. The posting also included a 15 day posting in the Department of Neuroradiology wherein training in examination of imaging films (both Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) was imparted and their implication in psychiatric management was discussed.

Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry: This posting is at the department of psychiatry at the St. John’s Medical College and Hospital. I would see new admissions, follow-ups and inpatients daily, which were the cases, referred for consultation from other medical and surgical disciplines such as emergency medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, ear nose and throat departments. Detailed management plans would be formulated and conveyed in writing and orally to the junior resident of the referring team. The postings included being on call once every week for twenty-four hours.

Family Therapy, Behavior Therapy and Psychiatric &Neurological Rehabilitation: In Family Therapy, I have worked up 4 new cases and followed them up for a period of one month daily, and then weekly for the following six months. While in Behavior Therapy, I have worked up and followed up 6 new cases over one month daily followed by weekly for another six months. In Rehabilitation Psychiatry, I would work up 2 new cases and review 5 cases per week; prepare individual rehabilitation plans in association with the Clinical Psychologist, Social Worker and Occupational Therapist; and oversee the psychiatric care of the Day Care Centre inmates in a daily OPD.

The MD training also included 75 hours of supervised psychotherapy based on brief dynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches. Towards the end of the training, I was assessed on my understanding of the various psychotherapeutic approaches by Viva conducted by two examiners. The assessment included detailed presentation and discussion on the psychotherapeutic case formulation of one of the client that I had seen as a part of supervised psychotherapy.

Participation in Seminars, Journal clubs and Case conferences at the departmental level were essential parts of the training programme. Similar teaching modules were carried out twice a week in each of the clinical units.

I did a study on “Short term outcome in childhood Schizophrenia and its correlates” during my postgraduate training.

At end of 3 years training (i.e. April 2011) I appeared for my final examinations.

M.D. Exams comprised of 2 parts: theory and clinical/viva voce

Part I: Theory involved 5 papers as follows: -

Paper 1: Basic neurosciences (neuroanatomy, neurophysiology including biochemistry & genetics)

Paper 2: Clinical Psychology (including applied sociology, anthropology & biostatistics)

Paper 3: Clinical Psychiatry (including child & adolescent psychiatry and specialties)

Paper 4: Recent Advances in Psychiatry

Paper 5: Consultation Liaison Psychiatry (neurology and general medicine related to

Psychiatry)

Part II of examination consisted of clinical examination by a panel of 6 examiners comprising of 4 psychiatrists, a neurologist and clinical psychologist. Clinical examination involved detailed assessment of 2 patients with psychiatric disorders and one patient with neurological illness. The mode of assessment involved observing the patient being interviewed, case presentation, discussion, and viva voce. A separate consultant’s viva was also conducted after the completion of case discussion.

I was awarded MD degree in Psychiatry in April 2011 after successful completion of both parts of examination.

After completion of my 3 years Junior Residency training in psychiatry, I am able to function as an autonomous psychiatrist. I am able to take decisions and act independently when required. I am conscious about maintenance of the quality of my clinical work through thorough physical and psychiatric examination, collection of data from corroborative sources, diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, documentation of the interventions and reference work associated with patients under treatment and research. I have developed skills to integrate into a multi-disciplinary team displaying team leadership where appropriate. I am able to coordinate care for mentally ill people by appropriate liaisons with medical, nursing & paramedical staff and voluntary organizations. I have developed the ability to establish rapport with my patients, build therapeutic relationships and enable them to grow out of their disability while maintaining my professional objectivity.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN PSYCHIATRY

I have been working as Assistant Professor in Psychiatry SRM Medical College & research Institute, Chennai from June 2011 – July 2013. I also guide the work of the senior residents. Job functions include teaching undergraduate and psychiatry postgraduate medical students. I also guide the medical students, nursing students, and PhD students in their research projects, under the supervision of the Professor.

Clinical experience

The job profile involves taking care of out-patients and in-patients in a general Hospital setting. It also includes Consultation liaison work in the Hospital with other specialties.

On an average outpatient day, about 10-15 new patients come for screening from various parts of the state and about 30- 40 patients come for follow-up.

In-Patient duties include conducting rounds every day of nearly 10 - 15 patients under my care at any given time. These rounds involve bedside teaching of assessment, diagnosis, formulation and implementation of comprehensive management strategies based on Bio-Psycho-Social Paradigm; review of clinical status and management plans both pharmacological and psychosocial; and making decisions about discharge of patients and follow-up services. I administered ECTs, supervised by consultant, ensuring prompt pre-ECT work up, administration of ECT and documentation of ECT results.

During inpatient rounds students are taught in detail interviewing skills with reference to phenomenology and the management of various psychiatric disorders using a bio-psycho-social model, which includes pharmacological and psychosocial interventions. With regards to the latter psychotherapy skills are emphasised. Very often brief individual psychotherapies are utilised and the approach is eclectic. Students are also trained in emergency management and crisis intervention, for e.g., delirium tremens, suicidal patients, acute psychosis, etc.

The students also learn to empathize, communicate with patients and relatives and also reduce stigma in the community towards mental illness. These are done through lectures, case-discussions, bedside rounds, seminars, role-plays, group discussions; problem based learning and integrated teaching modules. Teaching is done in both didactic and interactive forms. The Psychiatry unit has every day case-presentation followed by discussions bedside. Lectures are taken as part of small group teaching activities in rotation for a group of 30 students for 12 weeks in an interactive way.
