Child psychiatry education for general residents
Abstract
There is continuing debate about what child psychiatry experiences should be included in a general residency. The author describes the program at the University of Michigan in an effort to provide some insights into the interface between child psychiatry and general residency training. This program is unique in several respects: a 12- month rotation in child psychiatry is offered, and the faculty size and budget of the youth services are comparable to those of the adult services. A survey of all residents and faculty pointed up numerous disagreements as to the length of the rotation and priorities in curriculum. The author discusses the influence of the various competitive processes on the educational program.
