Abstract
The integration of psychiatric care in primary care is becoming a reality. Psychiatric training programs are facing multiple challenges to accommodate this transition. We here present the perspectives of Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry Committee on Psychopharmacology. The members of the group respond to the concerns raised by a resident currently confronting this changing landscape. By discussing the training, clinical, and communicating challenges of integrated care, they shed light on many of the questions being tackled by residency training programs. This commentary on the timely discussion about integrated care seeks to provide insight on the future of training in psychiatry by outlining the core questions of this change.
