Abstract

Managing a psychiatry graduate medical education (GME) program in the twenty-first century demands the involvement of resident or fellow learners, faculty members, and others across many different professions. Interprofessional education and teams require shared or common goals, education/training, experience, feedback over time, and processes for improvement. The interprofessional team – sometimes known as a multidisciplinary team – plays a key role in clinical care, education, and administrative workflows. This rich and valuable collaboration creates both opportunities and challenges for faculty, program directors, and other departmental leaders. In working with learners and professionals from other professions, psychiatry trainees benefit from opportunities to learn alongside other trainees, practitioners, and leaders, which helps them to develop skills, attitudes, and knowledge that inform work going forward. However, such learning must be designed and taught explicitly and deliberately, and time and experience are essential in order to develop residents’ and fellows’ roles and identities as psychiatrists. This chapter is a practical guide, which introduces interprofessional education and interprofessional team functioning, gives examples of common approaches, and highlights some of the opportunities and challenges.
