This paper outlines the consensus of a group of career teachers of psychiatry on the elements of a training program that will produce a professional with competence not only as a physician but in the many other roles a psychiatrist must perform. The group arranged the elements into three headings: what a psychiatric resident needs to know, what he should be able to do, and the characteristics he should develop in the course of his training.
