Our study of 180 psychiatric residents from all 16 Canadian psychiatric training centres showed that only 22.2% found university teaching on eating disorders adequate. Eighty-nine percent believed formal instruction on anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) should be made mandatory. Significantly more female than male residents were interested in AN and BN patients. The authors suggest special attention be given to residents' curriculum on the subject.
