[Graduate education for psychiatry and psychotherapy specialty FMH: retrospective evaluation by the psychiatrist. 1].

Psychiatrists who recently finished their postgraduate training filled in a questionnaire about their training experiences. Two thirds considered the training as generally insufficient although many gave high ratings when asked about the quality of their clinical experiences and the acquisition of skills. It appears that the main areas for possible improvement of the training should concern knowledge and practical experiences with disorders which are typical for psychiatric out-patients.
