  • Title: Impact of an Enduring War on Two Military Psychiatry Residency Programs.
    Author: Groom RM, Carr RB, Leong SL, Hornbaker-Park MB.
    Journal: Acad Psychiatry; 2015 Aug; 39(4):354-9. PubMed ID: 25739934.
    Abstract:
    Four active duty military psychiatrists at different points in their careers were asked to reflect on the impact that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had on their respective training in military psychiatry residency programs. The result is an inside look from four unique perspectives on how military psychiatry residency training adapted over time to prepare their graduates to practice psychiatry in a wartime setting as many graduates went to the front lines of war shortly after graduation. This article will provide an understanding of the challenges faced by these residency programs striving to meet the behavioral health needs created by war while balancing this with ongoing ACGME requirements, how those challenges were met, and the impact it had on residents.
