That practice allowed me to gain experience in basie procedures, such as: mental State examination, diagnosis, lab tests, additional tests (EEG, CT, MRI), differential diagnosis, psychiatrie treatment, prevention and psychoeducation for patients and their families, as well as physical and neurological examination. I was also responsible for initiating and monitoring pharmacological treatment. I also worked at the Emergency Psychiatrie Unit. That work helped me gain morę experience in emergency psychiatry. During that practice I could also cooperate with other specialists, which showed me important relationship between mental and physical health.
