title: Psychiatric education at the crossroads: issues and future directions.
abstract: Psychiatric education is currently facing many critical issues. Their resolution will determine the future availability of psychiatrists and is dependent on the development of new strategies that will require a reorientation in several aspects of current psychiatric education. This may be necessary if the vitality of psychiatry as a specialized branch of medicine is to be maintained and the relevance of psychiatric training and practice to service needs and research objectives is to be increased.
