The internship year in psychiatry: a status report.
The reinstitution of the "internship" requirement by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology resulted in the development of a 4-year residence by most residency programs. The authors distributed a questionnaire to more than 200 psychiatry residency directors to collect data concerning the new "internship" year. Their results indicate that there is considerable diversity in the content of the "internship" and general satisfaction with the quality of the experience.
