Psychiatry Grand Rounds
Interns attend weekly psychiatry grand rounds, which include presentations by Geisinger faculty as well as outside speakers. Each intern makes a presentation at psychiatry grand rounds near the end of the internship year. Interns are also encouraged to attend conferences sponsored by other medical center departments.

Professional Issues and Ethics Conference
Interns participate in a weekly conference with the director of training during which a variety of professional and ethical issues are discussed. Ethical principles and codes as well as practical and challenging ethical dilemmas faced by faculty and interns are reviewed. In addition, professional issues such as efforts to expand the scope of psychology practice, licensure, and employment options are reviewed during the conference.
