To review the literature describing the content and time allocated to undergraduate medical education curricula in child and adolescent psychiatry and make recommendations about child and adolescent psychiatry teaching goals and curricula content.
A literature search from 1970 to February 2007 using the key words undergraduate, curriculum, teaching, education, psychiatry, child, adolescent, and medical school, was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science.
There is limited agreement about curricula content for undergraduate child and adolescent psychiatry teaching programs in medical schools, with a wide range of objectives identified by different programs. On average, the time allowed for teaching child and adolescent psychiatry is small. There is also great variation in the time allocated by different medical schools. In many countries, the number of child and adolescent psychiatrists with academic appointments is limited, and child and adolescent psychiatry programs are developed and taught by a small number of teaching staff at each medical school.
Medical schools should reconsider the relatively low priority given to teaching child and adolescent psychiatry to medical students. The child and adolescent psychiatry profession must identify clear learning goals for a longitudinal developmentally appropriate model of child and adolescent psychiatry education commencing at an undergraduate level in medical schools and continuing through residency and fellowships. There is a need to promote national and international standards for teaching in this area and to encourage stronger collaborations between teaching staff across different medical schools.
回顾描述本科医学教育中儿童与青少年精神病学课程内容及分配时间的文献,并就儿童与青少年精神病学教学目标及课程内容提出建议。
使用关键词本科、课程、教学、教育、精神病学、儿童、青少年和医学院,于2007年2月对1970年以来的文献进行检索,检索数据库包括PubMed、PsycINFO和科学网。
医学院校本科儿童与青少年精神病学教学课程的内容共识有限,不同课程确定的目标范围广泛。平均而言,用于儿童与青少年精神病学教学的时间较少。不同医学院校分配的时间也有很大差异。在许多国家,担任学术职务的儿童与青少年精神科医生数量有限,每个医学院校的儿童与青少年精神病学课程由少数教师开发和授课。
医学院校应重新考虑给予医学生儿童与青少年精神病学教学相对较低的优先级。儿童与青少年精神病学专业必须为从医学院校本科阶段开始并贯穿住院医师培训和专科培训的纵向、适合发展阶段的儿童与青少年精神病学教育模式确定明确的学习目标。有必要推广该领域的国家和国际教学标准,并鼓励不同医学院校的教师加强合作。
