Welcome, Welcome to your 3rd year medical school Psychiatry Rotation.
Here are a few rules to abide by during your 4 weeks with us.
1. If you are in a situation and your gut tells you this is not good or that you shouldn't be there - leave. Listen to your gut.
2. When in a room with a patient, NEVER let the patient occupy the exit. Never let yourself get trapped in a room with the patient between you and the exit!
3. Never touch your patients. If they are sad and crying - no hugging, no touching their hands, no sitting on their beds. You never know how the patient will interpret such acts and you don't want to get into a he said, she said battle.
4. After shaking your patient's hand, wash your hand - you never know where that hand might have been.
5. Never trust your patients. They are not your friends, they are not supposed to be your friends, do not give out any personal information and never let your guard down.
