Abstract:
This paper reports the free-text responses of general practitioners (GPs) in the Grampian area to a questionnaire about their experiences of undergraduate psychiatry teaching. Most respondents were senior GPs whose undergraduate training had taken place a number of years ago. Respondents varied in their perceptions of the quality of their psychiatric teaching. However, they reported common themes such as the bias of undergraduate teaching towards disorders which are less relevant to their practice, and the benefits of postgraduate training in psychiatry. We suggest that medical schools need to bear the needs of the non-psychiatrist in mind when developing curricula in psychiatry.
