- Community psychiatry training experiences for residents are variable.
- Understanding of "community psychiatry" differs among residents.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess psychiatry residents' views on community psychiatric training.
- To identify areas for improvement in community psychiatry curricula.
Main Methods:
- A questionnaire was distributed to psychiatry residents in 5 Ontario training programs.
- Descriptive analyses and frequency comparisons were performed on collected data.
Main Results:
- The response rate was 48%, with varied interest in community psychiatry training.
- Junior residents showed particular interest in additional community psychiatry training.
- Residents suggested improved promotion, supervision, and didactic teaching for community training.
Conclusions:
- Current community psychiatry training lacks standardized objectives and guidelines.
