Assessing residents' performance in C-L psychiatry. Work in progress.
The scores from the Psychiatry Resident In Training Examination (PRITE) provide useful information concerning residents' acquired knowledge about consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry. However, a comparable method for assessment of C-L residents' clinical skills has not been developed. A task force was commissioned by the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Section of the Association for Academic Psychiatry to develop such an assessment system. This paper presents the work of that task force and includes a methodology for assessing clinical performance, a prototype evaluation form, and instructions for its use.
