Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member faculties. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Independently perform semi-structured psychometric interviews in psychotic patients 2. Independently and reliably rate a range of different psychometric rating scale 3. Translate scores on psychometric scales into useful clinical information and interpret these scores in a research context 4. Know and handle issues regarding validity and reliability of scale scores 5. Content The aim of this course is to teach the participants to use of several psychometric rating scales used for patients with psychoses. The course focus on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), The Brief Psychotic Rating Scale (BPRS), Scale for assessment of Positive symptoms (SAPS), Scale for assessment of Negative symptoms (SANS) and Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS). The course will provide a brief theoretical background where the history and development of the multiple rating scales will be presented, the interview and rating technique will be introduced and typical challenges will be discussed. The main part of the course will consist of live interviews where participants are required to conduct these interviews with patients, which are subsequently rated. For approval of the course, a short written clinical summary of each interview is required. Participants are expected to spend up to 3 hours to discuss and formulate a clinical description outside the course participation. Participants PhD students in psychiatry and clinicians can participate. Before the course the manual of the rating scales should be studied closely (will be sent out prior to the course). Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Psychiatry Neuroscience Clinical Research Language Danish Form Lectures, DVDs and interviews with patients.
