The application of competency-based education to consultation-liaison psychiatry: III. Implications.
In this paper the authors consider the implications of a competency-based model of education in relation to issues that affect the training of consultation-liaison psychiatrists. These issues include program design, the integration of consultation-liaison psychiatry to psychiatry in general, and the relationship of consultation-liaison psychiatry to medicine. Training programs in consultation-liaison psychiatry need to respond to the issues that derive from each of these areas. The authors argue that the competency-based model provides a framework which offers guidelines for designing a program that addresses these concerns.
