St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center
A
major teaching affiliate of Upstate Medical University located about a
mile north of the campus, St. Joseph's runs the Comprehensive Psychiatric
Evaluation Program (CPEP), a state funded "psychiatric emergency
room" for a five-county area.
CPEP provides residents the opportunity
to spend a month during their PGY-2 year working regular shifts alongside
the permanent staff doing evaluations, referring patients to inpatient
and outpatient services throughout the region, and managing patients in
the four 72-hour observation beds.
