The authors describe an experimental program at the University of Wisconsin that will integrate medical school, internship, and psychiatric residency years to allow selected medical students to complete their basic medical and psychiatric specialty training in six years. The first students to undertake the last three years of this six-year program are currently medical school juniors and will begin the new sequence next year. The program represents, in the authors' thinking, a logical extension of the progression of change within many areas of medical education since World War II.Abstract Teaser
