Outpatient management teams : integrating educational and administrative tasks.
To provide a more structured experience in outpatient psychiatric training, the UCLA Neuropsychiatrie Institute's outpatient department organized outpatient management teams. Each team is supervised by a pair of faculty psychiatrists. PGY-3 and PGY-4 teams also include a psychologist and a social worker. The teams serve to provide comprehensive outpatient psychiatric training, track and review patients seen by the trainees, and ensure quality of care. In this way, the teams have successfully linked educational, clinical, and administrative tasks. The authors review the organization and processes of this outpatient program, now in its third year.
