Whither hospital and academic psychiatry?
If psychiatrists are to bring value to the health care team, training a renewable force of such psychiatrists is essential. Have psychiatrists been trained to bring maximal value to the health care team? Is such training being provided now? Given the current health care climate, will sufficient funding be available to train this renewable force optimally? This article addresses these questions from an historical-developmental perspective, identifies current challenges, and outlines opportunities for further growth and development.
