Examples of assessment techniques in psychiatric training.
Distinction between assessment for general medical students and psychiatry residents.

Main Results:

Multiple assessment methods exist, including structured case discussions, direct observation, simulation, standardized patients, and 360-degree assessments.
Each method has unique applications within psychiatry.
Assessment strategies differ based on whether trainees are general medical students or specialized residents.

Conclusions:

Effective competency assessment in psychiatry requires tailored methods for students and residents.
Educators can utilize diverse assessment tools to enhance psychiatric training.
Understanding the distinct needs of students and residents is key to designing appropriate competency evaluations.
