As a Baker Act institution with a dedicated psychiatric emergency service, this sponsoring hospital offers 24-hour emergency assessment of the psychiatric needs of community residents across a full range of demographics and psychopathologies. Within the general medical hospital setting, the consultation-liaison psychiatry service plays an integral role in the care of patients in the emergency department, on the medical floors and trauma service, and in the ICU. The electroconvulsive therapy service for inpatients and outpatients treats 1,300 patients a year.
Residents on all services receive direct supervision tailored to their stage of training and unique learning needs. The institution provides committed staff support for this residency as well as residency offices and computer labs, call rooms, a resident lounge, and interactive virtual classrooms so that residents may participate in conferences throughout the Florida Atlantic University College of Medicine Graduate Medical Education Consortium.
