Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV for developing this topic. Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating in this discussion. This topic does not address principles tested in the psychiatry shelf exam. It does tackle strategies that may help students during their third year have better experiences on their rotations.

Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV, for developing this topic. In terms of test preparation, this is very low yield. This presentation describes how bath salts appeared, the effect on neurotransmitters and why this may create such a variable presentation. This was a fascinating topic to develop and fits in well with the presentations Cam developed for recognizing and treating patients in the Emergency D...

Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV for developing this topic. This is part of a group of podcasts looking at presentation and management in the ER and beyond for substances of misuse. This podcast has limited benefit for shelf and board learning and that is mostly complete by the 15 minute mark. Thank you Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating. The following link takes you to...

Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV, for developing this great topic. For the time (about an hour), this is a low yield podcast for shelf exam preparation. It addresses some issues that do show up on tests, but only infrequently. It has higher yield for somebody that might be interested in seeing some of the ways that scientists are looking for ways to identify schizophrenia and see if treatment is...

Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV, for developing this very interesting podcast. Early research suggests some links between use of a ketogenic diet and improvement in the schizophrenia model in mice (prepulse inhibition).  Further, the effects of Beta-hydroxybutyrate seem widespread and the role that this molecule has in the fasting/starvation state also has a growing literature base. This pr...

Thank you Cam Mecham, OMS IV for developing this great topic. Thank you Rhett Dotson, OMS III, Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for participating in this podcast. This podcast is of moderate value for the first 14 or so minutes with regards to principles tested on exams and the remaining information was quite fascinating and more helpful in terms of what might be of value for an...

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for the capstone to the series about treatment of depression. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Cam Mecham, OMS IV, for chipping in to provide additional expertise. This podcast reviews some of the previous information from the podcasts describing medications, but focuses on the practical implementation of those strategies. It may have more benefit for the Stan...

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV, for developing this podcast as another step in better understanding how to tackle difficult to treat depression. Thank you Natalie Pratt OM,S IV and Cam Mecham OMS IV for joining in! This is a modest yield podcast for principles tested in exams and more helpful for understanding the options used to treat depression when it doesn't respond to first line treatment...

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for continuation of the podcasts focused on treatment of depression in a systematic fashion. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV; Cam Mecham, OMS IV; Angelo Garcia, OMS III and Rhett Dotson, OMS III for participating in the presentation. This presentation covers high yield principles that are tested but the area of coverage is narrow.

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for continuing a thoughtful series on treatment of depression and key principles of algorithmic treatment and key aspects of antidepressant use. This is a modest yield podcast as there will be questions regarding principles in this podcast that are likely to show up in tests. Thank you Jason Hemingway, OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating in the dis...

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for developing this topic. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Jamon Hemingway OMS IV for participating. This is a high yield discussion about principles that are tested on board and shelf exams.

Thank you Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III for developing this important and fascinating topic. Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV and Ray Kwong OMS III for participating.  This presentation has limited benefit for shelf preparation, but seemed to provide a great deal of education to students (and me) to help provide better care for my patients. The current WPATH guidelines mentioned in this presenta...

Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for developing the concept of focusing on learning around a neurotransmitters and neuroanatomy.  Also participating were Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III; Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV. This podcast has moderate yield regarding high value topics about dopamine and how this neurotransmitter and the location of this neurotransmitter matter for psy...

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV; Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III for the discussion. This was an unplanned presentation that involved discussions about principles that seem to be commonly used in examination settings. This seems to be high yield.

Thank you to Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV who helped to introduce this topic. Thank you also Nuriya Gadiwalla OMS III and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating. Note that this has limited yield for students preparing for their shelf exam. It does set the stage for exploration of algorithmic treatment of depression in a series of podcasts that are anticipated to follow.

Thank you Ray Kwong, OMS III for developing the topic and finding the great articles! Thank you Brandon Trujillo OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating. This podcast is of minimal shelf exam benefit. It does address the key issues of recognition of Tourette's Syndrome and treatment that may show up on practice tests and shelf exams. This article by Kevin Black describes the ongoing res...

Brief description of Borderline Personality Disorder with a discussion about the quality of evidence of current therapies. Specific comments are made to help with board preparation. Thank you Jamon Hemingway OMS IV for developing this topic! Modest yield for the boards. There is an error regarding the use of Discrete in discussing the data for outcomes. The correct word should be dichotomous.

The early part of this podcast has little value for the shelf exam. The end of the discussion seemed to open up a number of gems to consider during prep. The last 10 minutes is of moderate value.  There is a growing literature on the effect of Gut Flora on mental health and though tantalizing, the research seems to be in very early stages. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for developing the ve...

Thank you Dallas Earnshaw, APRN, CNS, BS; Lance Earnshaw, OMS III; Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for participating in this presentation.  This presentation addresses reasons for the pause in podcasts and the approach the Utah State Hospital has used to reduce the risk to patients in a high risk setting. The benefit for students in terms of the shelf exam is limited. For students interested in an ex...

This is likely a medium yield podcast for understanding the medications for treatment of Bipolar Disorder. Ben Winter OMIII and Conner Weston OMIII were key contributors to this podcast

This is likely a medium yield podcast for understanding the diagnostic criteria for bipolar I and bipolar II disorders. It also has descriptions about the mortality associated with bipolar disorder Ben Winter OMIII and Conner Weston OMIII were key contributors to this podcast.

Thank you to Cam Mecham, OM III from RVU, St. George Campus and Jed Roundy, student at Utah State University for participating in this discussion.  This podcast is judged to be of moderate value in shelf exam prep for the 3rd year psychiatry rotation.

This is a moderate yield podcast about Clozapine, high yield for this rotation with key information at the beginning. There appears to be one mistake describing the mechanism of action of Clozapine. It is an antagonist not a partial antagonist at the D2 receptor. Thank you Peter Huang, MSIV for taking time to prepare this podcast and for attempting to focus the key Shelf exam information near the...

This is a modest yield for Step 3 and Psychiatry rotation shelf exams. Thank you Peter Huang MS IV for doing the ground work on this Podcast!

This is low yield for medical students who are focused on shelf-exam material. The focus of this episode is to help students understand the context for screening for suicide in adolescents. The value of this episode lies in consideration of the problem of suicide, the strategies that are being employed and how the research suggests the process is going. It may be helpful for students considering p...
