The psychiatric chief residency: a preliminary training experience in administrative process
JG Looney, SJ Engleberg, RO Gode and DJ Knesper
Drawing on their experience, the authors explore the opportunity for
learning administrative process that is available to the psychiatric chief
resident. They categorize six models of the psychiatric chief residency and
document two of them, the ward chief and the interface chief, as providing
particularly rich administrative experiences. Although the chief resident's
administrative experience is only a preliminary one, it can be a first step
in solidifying his identity as a clinician-executive.
