Teaching residents the administrative aspects of psychiatric practice.
As the trend toward the organization and bureaucratization of professional practice increases, psychiatrists will require a better understanding of the administrative aspects of their practice. However, a survey of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training indicated that less than one-third of residency programs currently require core training in this area. The author presents a curricular blueprint that specifies learning objectives and a series of graduated training experiences over the course of residency in which essential teaching about the administrative aspects of psychiatric practice can be provided.
