Tracks Community Leadership Track The Community Leadership Track (CLT) is a program within the Division of Community Psychiatry of the UW Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences department. It is a specialized track for Psychiatry Residents to help the division accomplish its missions regarding training, education, and research. The Goal of the CLT is to maintain and further develop interests and skills in community psychiatry of residents who enter the residency with such interests. Community psychiatry, for purposes of the CLT is broadly defined as that area of psychiatry concentrated with persons who are publicly funded patients with severe and persistent mental illnesses. The major components of the CLT include:
Mentorship is promoted through assigning each CLT resident a mentor from the community division faculty to help the resident articulate and develop his or her career interest. They then guide and monitor the resident’s CLT experience. This mentor is in addition to the residency provided advisors. Clinical experience is provided by facilitating CLT residents working in a number of university and non-university based clinical rotations. Didactic education is provided through a special series of CLT seminars. Arrangements have been made to facilitate CLT resident’s attendance at these while on inpatient and other required clinical rotations. Research and policy development experience comes from encouraging the resident to be involved with independent research or collaboration with community division faculty research. As the Community division provides technical assistance to a number of policy making agents (DSHS, DOC, KC mental health div.) residents have a unique opportunity to observe and participate in policy development. Financial support is via an individual annual stipend of $500 to be used towards CLT objectives. The residents also help determine how the annual CLT program budget is spent. CLT residents are chosen by the director of the Community division with input from the Residency Training Director based on stated interests, career objectives and past experience in Community Psychiatry. The selection is made upon entry into the residency to allow for participation throughout all of the residency training years as opposed to deferring specialty track participation to the elective experience of the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years as occurs in some other tracks. The CLT consist of a group of 6-8 residents who tend to have diverse interests and experience, who are energetic in their support of each other and commitment to improving the care of publicly funded patients with severe and persistent mental illness. Upon completion of the program, the residents go on to community psychiatry positions or into further fellowship training to enter the academic community psychiatry positions.
