CHA uses the bio-psycho-social-cultural model of mental illness as the framework for the entire educational experience. The principles and application of evidence-based medicine are incorporated throughout the didactic and rotation based seminars.
Psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, neurobiology/ neuropsychiatry, and Evidence Based Medicine and Critical Thinking are major themes throughout the four years of didactics and clinical rotations.
All seminars are intended to supplement the clinical training with theory and the research findings to support the best clinical outcomes possible.
