This selection features 140+ board-style questions and answers written by medical students at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School during their third-year psychiatry clerkship. Each vignette is inspired by clinical encounters, grounded in relevant literature, and rigorously reviewed by psychiatry residents and faculty for clinical accuracy. We hope it serves as both a high-yield study resource and a tribute to the formative experiences of our clinical training.
