A COMPROMISE SENIOR YEAR PSYCHIATRY COURSE

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.121.1.48

One hundred and eighty senior medical students over the past 6 years who took their fourth year psychiatry course at the Massachusetts General Hospital (representing about one-fifth of those who graduated from Harvard Medical School) were asked to fill out a "Comment-Critique" questionnaire about the course and the teaching. In addition, the ideas of the faculty members involved in the teaching of this course were obtained. The needs of the students and of the faculty are summarized. Finally, a workable senior year psychiatry course, incorporating both student and faculty points of view, with possible minor modifications, suitable for any medical school curriculum, is described briefly.
