Dr. Ram: "In thinking about our assessment and plan and psychiatry, I think formulation and diagnosis are going to jump out in the assessment" He says there's definitely value in going through this formulation with your patient to help give them some more insight into why they're kind of going through what they're going through. For trainees, this may seem to be a mysterious process; providing a template or a structure upon which they can build a build is so important," he said.
