title: Electroconvulsive therapy training in Canada: a survey of senior residents in psychiatry.
abstract: Despite the enduring use and efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) over the last half century, training in the theory and administration of ECT in the United States and the United Kingdom has been substandard and erratic. This survey of senior residents across Canada reveals limitations in the ECT training received by Canadian psychiatrists and the need to set academic standards.
