Viewpoint: Time to enable accelerated psychiatry training

With international and Australasian psychiatrist shortages, this paper proposes accelerated progression through psychiatry training should be enabled. This requires proactive engagement of stakeholders to enable training, assessment and health system changes required for implementation. One approach is outlined with potential to move the dynamic of training from temporal compliance and assessment barriers to assessment enabling opportunities for growth and opportunity. Accelerated progression would not be required or desirable for all, but an opportunity that should not be denied without cause.
