In 1969, a teaching program in forensic psychiatry was launched at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Initially oriented toward the training of psychiatric residents, the Forensic Psychiatry Clinic now offers academic credit to selected law students and draws upon an interdisciplinary faculty. In light of special problems which may arise in forensic evaluations, the paper focuses upon client privacy, confidentiality and privileged communications. Also described are the difficulties of formulating a teaching program responsive simultaneously to the needs of medical students, psychiatric residents and law students.

A general teaching hospital provides an excellent setting for the teaching of psychiatric residents. The Canadian model for a teaching network, including general and specialty hospitals, allows for special interests to develop within given hospitals. A department of psychiatry which chooses the teaching of psychotherapy as a special interest is examined. The teaching occurs in all areas of the department (ambulatory, inpatient, consultation-liaison) and is backed up by appropriate seminars. Individual supervision provides the backbone of the teaching program. The special interest exists within a department which must answer all of the psychiatric needs of a general hospital population. From the university point of view, the network is strengthened by the existence of various areas of concentrated interest within various component units of the network.

AT THE School of Medicine of the University of Pittsburgh, the Department of Pediatrics has organized a series of field experiences intended to acquaint future physicians with programs and facilities outside the confines of the Medical Center which are concerned directly or indirectly with the health and welfare of normal and exceptional children. During their pediatric outpatient service, senior medical students in groups of six to eight spend 6 half-days in "community pediatric" training. Each student is loaned a collection of selected reprints, booklets and mimeographed material pertinent to the areas covered in the community experiences. They are urged to read the appropriate material before each field trip in order that their observations may be meaningful and productive. Additional preparation is given at the visit site by approximately an hour's group discussion of the general area to be covered, specific items to be noted, and questions to be considered during the experience. No attempt is made to cover all aspects of the program being viewed. Informal discussion and interpretation are maintained by the instructor throughout the field trip.

ABSTRACT Stefanie Redemann studied Biology at Darmstadt Technical University, followed by a Master's at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany. She then pursued a PhD in the labs of Tony Hyman and Jonathon Howard at the Max Planck Institute of Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, where she investigated the role of the actomyosin cortex in force generation and spindle positioning. After obtaining her doctorate degree in 2009, she joined the lab of Thomas Müller-Reichert at the Medical Theoretical Center in Dresden to work on reconstructing the mitotic spindle using electron tomography. Stefanie started her independent research group in 2018 at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, where she is using interdisciplinary approaches to study spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitosis and meiosis.

The collaboration described in this chapter involves the Department of Psychiatry in the medical school at the University of California, Davis, and the California Department of State Hospitals. For more than 20 years, this partnership has involved placing forensic psychiatry fellows in state hospitals operated by the state of California. In addition to the high-quality forensic psychiatric services delivered by these fellows, the partnership has also included consultation and on-site forensic evaluations conducted by supervising faculty, continuing education and training provided to hospital staff, and applied research conducted on questions directly relevant to practice. It serves as a national model for a well-operated, long-standing partnership between academic psychiatry and a publicly operated hospital system.
