Formal training in women's issues in psychiatry: a survey of psychiatry residency training directors.
OBJECTIVE
The authors describe the availability of formal residency training opportunities in women's issues in psychiatry and explore the potential relationships between the availability of training and characteristics of residency programs.


METHODS
The authors surveyed psychiatry residency training directors to identify program characteristics and training opportunities.


RESULTS
Certain didactic subjects were available in greater than 80% of residencies. Clinical training opportunities were less available and often not required.


CONCLUSIONS
Selected didactic training in gender issues is commonly available in a majority of residencies. Nevertheless, general clinical instruction and didactic instruction in several important topics are less available.
