Abstract:
A survey by a questionnaire method was undertaken to enquire about the facilities, the level of medical and non-medical staffing, structure and functioning of psychiatric teaching centres offering teaching and training in psychiatry at postgraduate level. The results of the survey are presented and discussed. It is evident that postgraduate teaching centres are inadequately staffed and poorly equipped. The implications of these vis-a-vis teaching and training and effective participation in the implementation of National Mental Health Programme are commented upon.
