Didactics
The Georgia South Psychiatry Residency Program hosts weekly didactic sessions for residents, medical students, staff physicians and other learners. Sessions are held each Thursday beginning at 9:00 am and conclude at 3:00 pm. Didactic sessions include “core” lectures, which cover topics pertinent to the foundation of Psychiatry. Core lectures are repeated annually to allow residents to review core topics and concepts multiple times throughout their four years of residency training. In addition to core lectures, didactic sessions include journal club, case reviews, resident-led lectures, and board review.
Training Sites
Our residents train at a number of sites around South Georgia, including:
- Colquitt Regional Medical Center
- Turning Point Hospital
- Georgia Pines
- Colquitt County Jail
- Vandemark Psychiatry and Counseling
