Teaching in the Discipline

Although many perceive psychiatry to be a relatively modern discipline, under different names it has had a prominent place in teaching at the University of Adelaide since clinical teaching commenced at the Royal Adelaide Hospital over a hundred years ago.

From those beginnings, the University of Adelaide Discipline of Psychiatry now operates as a multi-campus department, with an academic presence at the Royal Adelaide, The Queen Elizabeth, the Women's and Children's, and the Lyell McEwin Hospitals and The Adelaide Clinic, as well as there being clinical academic input from clinicians at the Modbury Hospital and Department of Health Community Services.

Medical and health sciences students may choose from courses offered by the Discipline in these levels:

• Year 1
• Year 2
• Year 4
• Year 6

Student Evaluation

SELTs in Psychiatry

The University of Adelaide Centre for Learning and Professional Development runs a Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching (SELT) Service.

We have designed a specialised SELT for Clinical teachers in Psychiatry.  There is a SELT for Year 4, and another for Year 6 teachers.  You may wish to evaluate your teaching using these forms.  As well as providing feedback about your teaching, these evaluations are useful for your CV and for applications for promotion.

To use these forms you do not have to place a request with CLPD. You should: download the required form and associated cover sheet make the appropriate number of copies for your evaluation organize an appropriate administrator and conduct the evaluation return the completed questionnaires and cover sheet to:

Evaluation and Assessment Service, CLPD, Level 2 Schulz Building in an envelope marked "Confidential Evaluations"

The SELT report will be sent to you by email and the survey sheets will be returned in the internal mail. For surveys that require a fast turn around time (e.g. departmental review, application for academic promotion) the envelope should be clearly and prominently labelled as 'urgent'.

If you have any questions about evaluations of teaching, please contact Associate Professor Anna Chur-Hansen, on 8222 5785 or anna.churhansen@adelaide.edu.au
