  • Title: The future of psychiatric education.
    Author: Hariman K, López Urquizú JE, Pinto da Costa M.
    Journal: Int Rev Psychiatry; 2020 Mar; 32(2):178-185. PubMed ID: 31476944.
    Abstract:
    Mental health disorders cause a large burden on global public health, with many patients living years with the disability. However, many doctors are ill-equipped to treat mental health disorders given inadequate training during their undergraduate years. In some countries, psychiatry is even considered an elective course rather than a core module. There is, therefore, a pressing need to improve the training of medical students in managing mental health disorders. Measures need to be implemented to attract students to choose psychiatry as their career. Given the developments in the fields and the challenges currently faced by trainees and early career psychiatrists, changes may also be made to the training programme in the postgraduate stage to unify the variations across the world in terms of the training duration and format. This paper will describe the ways that undergraduate and postgraduate psychiatry training may be ameliorated to improve the delivery of mental healthcare around the world and to equip doctors to face challenges in the future.
