Teaching women's issues in psychiatric residency: residents' attitudes.
There is increasing interest in psychiatry in women's and gender issues. This article evaluates psychiatric residents' interest in women's issues during training. The authors surveyed residents at four psychiatric residency programs to evaluate their opinions on the teaching of women's issues. Residents rated this topic an important one, but felt training could be improved. The authors review one program's curriculum and suggest ways in which women's mental health issues might be incorporated into residency training.
