title: Medical student education in psychiatry.
abstract: The authors interpret data obtained from 99 medical schools which submitted grant applications for support of either undergraduate psychiatric education programs or human behavior programs. They tentatively conclude that high-quality programs for teaching medical students psychiatry are characterized by a well-rounded faculty, a psychodynamic orientation, a greater commitment to medical student education than to resident training, varied teaching methods, enthusiastic student response, and systematic evaluation that produces change in subsequent years.
