This article is about the psychiatric educational components in the field of psychiatry. Currently the training and educational objectives focus on five major areas: undergraduate education (medical students); graduate education (psychiatric residents); psychiatric education for primary care physicians, as well as physicians in other medical specializations (psychosomatic training); public health and public education at large, and patient and family education, and the promotion of 'mental health' at a community level. Given the strong globalization process observed in all regions of the world in the past two or three decades, it is very important for Latin America to constantly review and update its psychiatric and behavioural sciences curriculum across all medical institutions and universities of the continent. New methods of teaching and novel approaches to education in the field of psychiatry are currently based on models that are also in use in other parts of the world, especially in the USA. Boards of certification for psychiatrists are being implemented all over the continent. Sound certification guarantees that the professional has followed and passed an educational training plan to make him/her qualified to start practising the profession. The future of psychiatric training will be closely bound to the future of the practice of psychiatry, and will have to get ahead of the challenges the specialism will face during the next decades.
本文是关于精神病学领域的精神病学教育内容。目前，培训和教育目标主要集中在五个主要领域：本科教育（医学生）；研究生教育（精神病住院医师）；初级保健医生以及其他医学专业医生（身心医学培训）的精神病学教育；公共卫生和大众教育，以及患者和家庭教育，以及在社区一级促进“心理健康”。鉴于过去二三十年来，世界所有地区都观察到了强烈的全球化进程，拉丁美洲非常有必要不断审查和更新其精神病学和行为科学课程，涵盖该大陆的所有医疗机构和大学。目前，精神病学领域的新教学方法和新颖教育方法是基于在世界其他地区（尤其是在美国）使用的模式。精神病学家认证委员会正在整个大陆实施。健全的认证保证专业人员已经遵循并通过了教育培训计划，使他/她有资格开始从事该专业。精神病学培训的未来将与精神病学实践的未来密切相关，并且必须在未来几十年中应对该专业面临的挑战。
