Strength of Mind actively participates in the education of future practitioners, doctors, and providers of mental health care.
We have a formal teaching role with the OSU College of Medicine, with their students rotating monthly in preceptorships under our attending psychiatrists. These students are actively involved in the experience and care of patients in the hospital and in our outpatient clinics. We believe it is imperative that future providers, especially physicians master as much as they can in the mental health arena before graduation. Estimates are that at least 50% of a family doctor’s practice is actually based in mental health issues. Thus we feel blessed in our key role of providing robust learning opportunities for the students.
