We’ve added two new community rotations for third and fourth year residents to gain experience and knowledge in neurostimulation and eating disorder treatment.

The Seattle Neuropsychiatric Treatment Center (SeattleNTC) has created a rotation for residents to gain competency in electroconvulsive therapy and in transcranial magnetic stimulation. Supervised by clinical faculty members Kenneth Melman, Suzanne Kerns and Joshua Bess, residents will not only get hands on experience with ECT and TMS but also experiences with diagnostic assessment of Deep Brain and Vagal Nerve Stimulation. This is an excellent opportunity for our residents to perform outpatient brain stimulation consultation and develop treatment options with excellent guidance from the Seattle NTC team.

Residents have also started rotating at the Eating Recovery Center in Bellevue. The center has an adult residential program and partial hospitalization program giving the residents an opportunity for intensive training in eating disorders. This rotation is being supervised by former graduates Neeru Bakshi and Brian Smart and is a terrific new addition to our repertoire of excellent community rotations.
