Abstract:
Psychiatric education has struggled to move past dualistic notions separating mind from brain, and embrace the field's identity as a clinical neuroscience discipline. To modernize our educational systems, we must integrate neuroscience perspectives into every facet of our clinical work. To do this effectively, neuroscience education should be clinically relevant, informed by adult learning theory, and tailored to the individualized needs of learners. Classic neuropsychiatry skills can help us better understand our patients' brain function at the bedside. Integrating neuroscience perspectives alongside the other rich perspectives in psychiatry will help trainees appreciate the relevance of neuroscience to modern medical practice.
