Abstract:
Psychiatrists have formed organizations for more than 100 years. The focuses of these organizations include education, clinical specialty, research, treatment modality, and psychiatrist identity. Psychiatrists in Canada and Britain also have formed organizations. These organizations and the pathways to specialty certification differ from their American counterparts. A number of examples of national and international collaboration between psychiatric organizations leading to positive outcomes can be cited.
