Event Details
Dr. Lloyd is in her eighth year at UIC, where she completed medical school and is finishing up her Adult Psychiatry Residency. This year she has enjoyed adding breadth to her psychiatric knowledge through her elective Recovery and Mood and Anxiety Clinics, but her primary interests lie in treating severe mental illness and its frequent companion, catatonia, in underserved populations. She intends to stay on at UIC after graduation as a faculty member, where preliminary plans have her dividing her time between serving as an attending on the inpatient unit, delivering ECT, supervising resident-run clinics, and caring for some of her own outpatient medication management and psychotherapy patients.
