Of 1,847 institutions responding to a survey by the Task Force on Continuing Education for Psychiatrists, 51 sponsored courses meeting the questionnaire's criteria. Sponsors were distributed geographically in the same relative density as psychiatrists. Universities, state and county institutions for the mentally ill, and psychoanalytic institutes were most active. Courses varied widely. Increasing interest in continuing education suggests that these data reflect a situation that will soon change dramatically.
