Trainees are rotated to Austin and Eastern Health or to a new private rotation at Gertrude Street Clinic for their child and adolescent mental health experience.
Working at St Vincent’s Hospital
St Vincent's is committed to supporting and complementing specialist RANZCP training with the aim of developing psychiatrists with a broad range of experiences and knowledge well equipped to perform clinically as well as lead and develop the broader mental health area.
St Vincent's draws on a collegiate approach of our consultant staff to form the background to a training experience which emphasises a comprehensive and inclusive manner of understanding and treating our patients including those at the margins of our community.
There is an extensive academic and educational program available to trainees at St Vincent’s Mental Health, including a particular commitment to providing a comprehensive training program which includes quality experience in psychotherapy.
Grand round style and critical analysis/clinic ethical presentations form the backbone of our general educational program. In addition to this some of our most senior psychiatrists provide a general grounding to our trainees by way of their weekly sessions.
Regular tutorials in readings covering psychodynamic psychiatry are conducted. Reflective practice sessions are also facilitated with trainees. Consultants participate actively in the exam preparation program with the development of an electronically based written exam preparation further supplemented by face to face sessions. Case submissions have been supported by the provision of information tutorials to both supervisors and trainees as well as supervisor support for a double review process. Historically, St Vincent's trainees have achieved high pass rates in their summative assessments and exams.
Training and working in mental health can be an intense, confronting and stressful experience. Trainees may have to deal with commitments outside of the workplace or challenges in their own lives. Part of professional development is finding a balance to these competing and complementary interests. In addition to meeting clinical and training supervision requirements through the usual avenues, we support our trainees by ready access to senior support.
An open door policy allows the clinical executive to provide support when needed. Our lead and senior registrars play an important role in providing mid-level and practical support to more junior trainees. St Vincent's Health provides staff support in the form of counselling services - ACCESS and STAR programs.
