Psychiatry in Pop Culture is a course designed to guide medical students through an array of literature, fine art, music, podcasts, and film pieces with relevance to clinical psychiatry. Guest lectures and table discussions will be utilized to enhance student understanding of cultural works as well as psychiatric knowledge. From there, students will inspect assigned pieces in class and from home then complete worksheets to ensure their understanding of the clinical knowledge available in each piece. By this practice, students will become capable of analyzing psychiatric
references in the world around them. Moreover, students will gain a greater appreciation for the complexities and joys of practicing psychiatry through its representation in artistic platforms. Students will demonstrate their ability to apply the knowledge they have learned by finding one unique work from any media and presenting to their peers this work¿s pertinence to clinical psychiatry.
