This article presents a model electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) curriculum for psychiatry residents, enhancing both practical skills and medical knowledge in ECT procedures. The curriculum ensures residents gain proficiency in patient assessment, ECT execution, and post-procedure care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychiatry Training
  • Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

Background:

  • Psychiatry residency programs require robust training in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • Existing educational experiences in ECT vary significantly across different institutions.
  • Standardized training is crucial for ensuring competence in ECT administration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate a model electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) curriculum for psychiatry residents.
  • To integrate practice-based learning with essential medical knowledge for ECT.
  • To provide a framework for standardized ECT education in residency programs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of American Psychiatric Association (APA) Task Force recommendations on ECT training.
