Training psychiatric residents in managed care.
The controversy about managed care in general is reflected in the challenges of training psychiatric residents in managed care. Some consensus is emerging that all programs should provide some amount of such education. Moreover, some principles and strategies seem to exist that any program can adapt and use, including neutral attitude, connecting managed care to related educational endeavors, emphasizing cost-effectiveness as a primary value, providing a basic seminar series, and approaching a core patient group using managed care management.
