Psychiatry Program

Objective:To obtain feedback from early career adult and child neurologists about the psychiatry component of residency training.Methods:A survey was developed and administered electronically to four cohorts of recently certified American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology diplomates.Results:The response rate was 16% (431/2,677) and included 330 adult neurologists and 101 child neurologists. Less than half of the respondents described themselves as extremely or quite satisfied with their psychiatry training while 26% of the adult neurologists and 33% of the child neurologists felt slightly or not at all prepared for this component of practice. Four themes were identified in the respondents’ suggestions for improving psychiatry training: provide more outpatient experience; provide more time/teaching in psychiatry; provide more experience with both pharmacological and non-pharmacological psychiatric treatments; and provide more exposure to patients with conditions likely to be encountered in neurology/child neurology practice.Conclusion:These recent graduates of adult and child neurology residency programs felt under prepared for the psychiatric issues they encountered in their patients. They suggested a number of strategies for better alignment of psychiatry training with the likely demands of practice, and a model curriculum recently developed by the American Academy of Neurology’s Consortium of Neurology Program Directors and the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training also provides guidance for both neurology and psychiatry program directors.

Experimental Data Collection

OBJECTIVES: Research methodologies in psychiatry have followed both the changes in mental health care and the need of updating programs of medical residency. To identify empirical articles in the indexed literature from 1997 to 2002, with the aim of analyzing and discussing methodological aspects of research dealing with the description and assessment of residency programs in psychiatry. METHOD: The bibliographic survey was performed using MedLine, PsycLit, Web of Science, and Lilacs. Twenty-one articles were identified. RESULTS: Nineteen studies were characterized as exploratory-descriptive and two as experimental. Data collection used questionnaires in 12 of them, and combined techniques in the other seven and the two experimental studies had data collected by tests applied before and after the teaching intervention. Most of the subjects were residents and program directors. Fifteen studies used statistical analysis. CONCLUSIONS: All the articles outlined the problems based on literature reviews. Most of the studies made use of standard techniques of social research and only two used experimental procedures. Only three studies employed external measures in order to establish correlations with the collected data. Procedures to validate and assess the reliability of the instrument by means of pilot-studies were absent in 11 studies, what may indicate methodological biases.

Interviewing Skills

A review of the literature suggests that the teaching of interviewing skills in psychiatry residency programs has been largely ignored. The consequences of poor interviewing, the characteristics of good interviewing, and what is known about effective training techniques for the mastery of clinical interviewing are reviewed. The relevance of psychiatric training is discussed. Issues which warrant further research are presented.
