title: Diversifying residents' outpatient psychiatry experience: a contemporary model for academic outpatient psychiatry clinics.
abstract: A diversified, outpatient experience is an important part of psychiatric training, yet challenging to attain. We describe a multiple, subspecialty psychiatry clinic model for 3rd year psychiatry residents. Evaluation findings based on its initial implementation indicated improved resident supervision, better therapeutic alliance and an overall increase in satisfaction. This model facilitates resident exposure to diverse patients and treatment modalities as well as faculty development of expertise. It also promotes academic training excellence.
