To demonstrate the importance of providing psychiatric training to primary care practitioners in ambulatory care settings. Additionally, to describe the model used for this purpose in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in order to further stimulate educational opportunities on this topic.
A review of the psychiatric curriculum offered to family practice residents during their PGY-2 year one-month rotation in psychiatry at the University of Texas Mental Sciences Institute is provided. Emphasis is given to key areas of the curriculum such as: knowledge, skills, and attitude development. Special focus on the clinical and educational experiences is also offered for the purpose of providing unique perspectives about the curriculum methodology.
The careful assessment of the feedback obtained from the family practice residents who were exposed to this ambulatory training model demonstrates that this type of setting was satisfactory for the teaching of psychiatry to primary care residents.
Primary care residents have always treated a large number of psychiatric patients. Given the current status of our health care system, primary care practitioners should have even a greater role in the future delivery of psychiatric services. In this article, we offer a model of training for primary care residents in psychiatry, which emphasize cost-effectiveness, high quality of care, and ambulatory care settings.
证明在门诊护理环境中为初级保健从业者提供精神病学培训的重要性。此外，描述德克萨斯大学休斯顿医学院精神病学与行为科学系为此目的所使用的模式，以进一步激发关于该主题的教育机会。
回顾了在德克萨斯大学精神科学研究所，家庭医学住院医师在其PGY - 2年为期一个月的精神病学轮转期间所接受的精神病学课程。重点关注课程的关键领域，如知识、技能和态度培养。还特别关注临床和教育经验，以便提供关于课程方法的独特视角。
对接触过这种门诊培训模式的家庭医学住院医师所获得反馈的仔细评估表明，这种环境对于向初级保健住院医师教授精神病学是令人满意的。
初级保健住院医师一直以来都诊治大量的精神科患者。鉴于我们医疗保健系统的现状，初级保健从业者在未来精神科服务的提供中应发挥更大的作用。在本文中，我们提供了一种针对初级保健住院医师的精神病学培训模式，该模式强调成本效益、高质量护理和门诊护理环境。
