Concluding Remarks

Abstract

The field of psychiatry and thus graduate medical education (GME) in psychiatry are continually evolving. In this book, we have sought to provide an overview and practical guidance about core aspects of establishing, managing, and improving psychiatry GME programs from the perspective of experienced education leaders. Chapters have focused on basic processes such as accreditation, building an effective leadership team, recruitment, onboarding, curriculum, evaluation, managing performance issues, and innovations, for example competency-based assessment, enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and approaches to trainee and faculty well-being, mentoring, and professional development. In addition, several chapters have discussed leadership skills needed to innovate and respond to change over time, such as negotiation, advocacy, and quality improvement skills. In these concluding remarks, we discuss future challenges and opportunities for psychiatry GME.
