Fifty-one psychiatric residents attended two workshops on Community Psychiatry and Public Health—Mental Health. Their reaction to and evaluation of these workshops is presented. These experiences suggest that residents are presently receiving only limited information about and experience in community psychiatry. It should be possible to incorporate training in community psychiatry into existing programs by faculty awareness and use of appropriate approaches and by ongoing seminars, utilizing outside lecturers as needed.
