In order to assess the needs for structured continuing education programs for psychiatrists, the authors conducted a state-wide questionnaire survey among Florida psychiatrists. This instrument sought information about retrospective deficiencies in residency training programs and attitudes toward formal post-residency educational activities of a supplementary or ongoing nature. Preliminary results are included.
