Health Care

Mental Health Resources

Medical School Mental Health Consultation Service (MSMHCS)

The MSMHCS provides students with confidential psychiatric evaluation, brief treatment, and assistance in finding additional treatment resources if necessary. Most initial evaluations are done by Drs. Ken Silk or Deepika Sastry, University of Michigan faculty psychiatrists whose usual responsibilities involve relatively little medical student teaching. Confidential referral to therapists and psychiatrists for long term management is available when needed.

How to contact the Program
MSMHCS appointments can be arranged by calling Natalie Dooley, at 763-4215 between the hours of 8-5, Monday-Friday.  Identify yourself as a student at the Medical School and ask for an appointment with Dr Silk or Dr Sastry .

For emergencies at other times, please call the Psychiatry ER at 936-5900.

Costs
The services of MSMHCS are available to all Medical School students.   Payment for sessions and referral consultations is the student’s responsibility, but in most cases insurance will cover care with students paying only a small co-pay.  If cost of care will create a hardship for any student, the evaluating psychiatrist will work with the student to help them obtain low-cost care.

Confidentiality
All contacts with the MSMHCS are confidential.  MSMHCS does not conduct psychiatric evaluations required by the Dean’s office and does not provide information to the Dean’s office except upon written request by a student (with the exception of certain critical or life-threatening situations).  While records of evaluation and treatment become part of your medical record, all medical records in the UM Health System are confidential.
