Psychiatry is not considered important by most medical students. But knowledge of psychiatry is essential for all doctors as psychiatric problems are prevalent in the population either as part of other physical illnesses or independently. All medical practitioners need skills in communication and forming empathy and the ability to counsel that are learnt in psychiatry. Nearly all medical students feel psychiatry is not scientific enough and psychiatrists are peculiar. We need to make psychiatry interesting, and impart skills and techniques to practice psychiatry at the primary care level and in the process change the misconceptions students have of psychiatry. We present a model to accomplish this.
大多数医学生认为精神病学并不重要。但精神病学知识对所有医生来说都是必不可少的，因为精神问题在人群中很普遍，要么是作为其他身体疾病的一部分，要么是独立存在的。所有执业医生都需要具备在精神病学中所学的沟通、形成同理心和咨询的能力。几乎所有医学生都觉得精神病学不够科学，而且精神科医生很怪异。我们需要让精神病学变得有趣，并传授在初级保健层面实践精神病学的技能和技巧，在此过程中改变学生们对精神病学的误解。我们提出了一个实现这一目标的模式。
