Some characteristics of psychiatric residency training programs
L Gurel
The author summarizes responses to a major questionnaire survey of
psychiatric residency training programs. In addition to providing objective
data on residents, training staff, and on the training institution and its
related facilities, the author presents information drawn from the
narrative responses to questions on major issues facing psychiatry. These
include training for dealing with critical social problems, recruitment of
minority group trainees and faculty, and training in interdisciplinary
collaboration and preparation for work with paraprofessionals. It is hoped
that these data will facilitate answers to questions about the training
psychiatrists should receive in the future by providing information about
training programs in the immediate past.
