Medical student education in psychiatry.
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.
