The specialty training program for psychiatry in Singapore is transitioning to a seamless 5-year training program. It is timely to assess the perceived adequacy of current psychiatric specialty training.
An anonymous survey was sent to all psychiatry trainees and psychiatrists in the public sector to assess the current adequacy and perceived importance of 11 aspects of psychiatric specialist training.
Forty-nine percent of those surveyed (54 of 110) replied. The current adequacy of training was rated lower than the perceived importance of training for all 11 aspects of training. Those aspects of training rated most important were disorder and diagnosis, pharmacological treatment, clinical interview, and treatment skills. Psychiatrists rated most aspects of training as being more important than did trainees except for cultural aspects, research, and basic neuroscience. Psychiatrists rated adequacy of training better than did trainees, except in the aspect of research. The difference between psychiatrists' and trainees' ratings for adequacy of psychotherapy treatment knowledge was significant (p<0.05).
There were perceived deficiencies in all 11 aspects of training. Psychiatrists and trainees have different perceptions of adequacy and importance of training.
新加坡精神病学专业培训计划正在向无缝的 5 年培训计划过渡。现在及时评估当前精神病学专业培训的认知充足性是很有必要的。
我们向公共部门的所有精神科受训者和精神科医生发送了匿名调查，以评估 11 个方面的精神科专家培训的当前充分性和认知重要性。
共有 110 人参与了调查，其中 49%（54 人）做出了回应。对于培训的 11 个方面，受训者对培训的当前充分性的评价低于对培训的认知重要性的评价。被认为最重要的培训方面包括疾病和诊断、药物治疗、临床访谈和治疗技能。除了文化方面、研究和基础神经科学外，精神科医生认为培训的所有方面都比受训者更重要。精神科医生对培训的充分性评价要好于受训者，除了研究方面。精神科医生和受训者对心理治疗知识的培训充分性评价的差异具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。
培训的所有 11 个方面都存在认知不足。精神科医生和受训者对培训的充分性和重要性有不同的看法。
