title: Mobile psychiatric consultation-education for primary physicians.
abstract: A psychiatrist meets with physicians, individually or in groups, in their offices, in hospitals, or in any convenient place to provide consultation-education training in basic psychiatric skills, including community psychiatry. The pilot project, reported here, indicates that this program is not only feasible but highly successful. The implications are broad. In addition to providing increased skills for local physicians, the program serves as a training setting in which hospital staff, mental health clinic personnel, and psychiatric residents can learn the skills of consultation.
