abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this paper is to describe those features that have contributed to the popularity and success of the psychiatry training program at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, and to discuss the factors that potentially weaken the program and how these might be addressed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The strengths of the psychiatry training program at St Vincent's Hospital are the high rate of recruitment of junior medical officers to psychiatry training, the provision of quality in-house teaching, the in-house provision of psychotherapy supervision and exam preparation, the positive influence of the chief psychiatry registrar, having enough trainees to alleviate the tension between training and service delivery, and the availability of a variety of 'extra', high-quality, professional development opportunities.
