What Are We Training For? : A Follow-up Survey of a Child Psychiatry Training Program.

The authors report the results of a 1990 survey of 91 graduates of the 2-year training program in child psychiatry at the University of Toronto. The participants, who completed their training between 1982 and 1989, completed a structured questionnaire designed to assess current patterns of practice, consultation, and academic activities. The respondents were also asked which aspects of their training were relevant to their current practice and what topics would be of interest for continuing medical education. The implications of the results for planning child psychiatry training curricula are discussed. (Academic Psychiatry 1994; 18:88-94).
