The internship year in psychiatry: a status report
MK Crowder and HB Roback
The reinstitution of the "internship" requirement by the American Board of
Psychiatry and Neurology resulted in the development of a 4-year residence
by most residency programs. The authors distributed a questionnaire to more
than 200 psychiatry residency directors to collect data concerning the new
"internship" year. Their results indicate that there is considerable
diversity in the content of the "internship" and general satisfaction with
the quality of the experience.
