Abstract

Opinions vary as to the place in psychiatric education of training for community psychiatry. The confusion is partly due to the assumption that community psychiatry represents a new subspecialty and that therefore training for community psychiatry should follow basic clinical education. With the exception of certain administrative and research aspects, the practices and the knowledge employed by community psychiatrists are becoming part of all effective contemporary psychiatric practice and should be part of the basic education of every psychiatrist. A three-year residency program which coordinates clinical and community psychiatric knowledge and experience is presented. The needs of participants in mental health programs, of teachers and of researchers in community psychiatry, can best be met by specific postgraduate instruction combined with simultaneous job experience.
