The Academic Program
Psychiatry (PSTY) is a branch of medicine that derives
its theoretical foundations from the neurosciences, as well as the
psychological and social sciences. The investigation of the biological
basis of mental illness is one of the most exciting areas of medical
research today and is revolutionizing our understanding of mind-body
relationships.
The Department of Psychiatry contributes to the
overall mission of the School of Medicine by providing leadership in
psychiatric training, teaching, research, and services in Hawaii,
Asia, and the Pacific Basin. The department is committed to expanding
knowledge within a cross-cultural and bio-psycho-social framework.
Traditional courses have been replaced with the
problem-based learning curriculum. Psychiatric issues are addressed
throughout the curriculum but are particularly emphasized in the second
year during the brain and behavior sub-unit of Unit IV and in the third
year during the Unit VI Psychiatry Clerkship.

The Academic Program
Speech pathology and audiology (SPA) are interrelated
disciplines that deal with disorders of speech-language and/or hearing.
Audiology is the study of human hearing and the diagnosis and treatment
of hearing-related disorders. Speech-language pathology is the study of
human communication and its developed or acquired disorders. Through
these two disciplines students have the opportunity to deal with a wide
variety of disabilities and disorders affecting people of all ages.
Speech pathologists and audiologists treat children and adults in public
and private practice in a wide variety of settings. A recent report by
the federal government projected the combined fields of audiology and
speech pathology as one of the fastest growing of the next decade.
The program for speech pathology and audiology at the
University of Hawaii is recognized nationally for its quality and is
accredited in both areas. It is one of the few programs in the United
States featuring preparation in a multilingual/multicultural
environment.
Accreditation
The Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology is
accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association in Speech Pathology and Audiology.
Advising
Students considering the major may call the Division
of Speech Pathology and Audiology to schedule an appointment with an
adviser. |
