Resident training in chronic care and rehabilitation.
Although the Royal College requires that residents receive training in the rehabilitation of psychiatric patients, much leeway has been given to individual departments of psychiatry as to program content. This has often led to inadequate training since residents may be exposed to chronic patients without any training in rehabilitation. In order to meet this deficiency McGill University and the University of Toronto have developed specific program requirements. These are described below.
