Abstract
The authors report data from a survey of chairmen of academic departments of psychiatry and chiefs of Veterans Administration (VA) psychiatry services concerning administrative relationships between academic psychiatry departments and VA psychiatry services and the education of psychiatry residents in VA settings. The extent and quality of relationships, the interdependence of academic departments and VA psychiatry services, factors important for good VA training, and advantages and disadvantages of using the VA for residency education are documented. The authors present their conclusions and recommendations for improving the quality of relationships between academic departments and VA psychiatry services and for strengthening psychiatric education in the VA setting.
