For several years the demand regarding psychiatrists in Switzerland can only be satisfied by recruiting colleagues from other countries. Given the global increase of mental disorders, initiatives encouraging young academics to choose psychiatry as their speciality, and enhancing the attractiveness of our field, are urgently needed. Two projects for the promotion of young academics are presented in this paper, one working with medical students, the other with residents in psychiatry. The Zurich 'Study Focus on Psychiatry' provides medical students with knowledge and key competencies in psychiatry at an early stage of their undergraduate training. This way, students are offered an opportunity to have a thorough look into psychiatry as a clinical specialism and as a science. The three-year psychotherapy training curriculum in medical psychotherapy provides residents in psychiatry and psychotherapy with specific training in either cognitive behavioural, or psychodynamic, or systemic psychotherapy. Additionally, and independent of the psychotherapeutic orientation they have chosen, all trainees attend joint sessions focusing on generic elements of psychotherapy and facilitating a hands-on transfer of psychotherapeutic principles into their clinical routine. These two projects aim at enhancing the attractiveness of psychiatry and psychotherapy as a speciality, and thus contributing to the promotion of young academics.
几年来，瑞士对精神科医生的需求只能通过从其他国家招募同事来满足。鉴于精神障碍在全球范围内的增加，迫切需要鼓励年轻学者选择精神病学作为他们的专业，并提高我们领域的吸引力。本文介绍了两个促进年轻学者的项目，一个是针对医学生的，另一个是针对精神科住院医师的。苏黎世“精神医学研究重点”项目在医学生本科培训的早期阶段为他们提供精神医学方面的知识和关键能力。这样，学生们就有机会深入了解精神病学作为一种临床专业和一门科学。为期三年的医学心理治疗培训课程为精神科医生和心理治疗师提供认知行为、心理动力或系统心理治疗方面的特定培训。此外，无论他们选择哪种心理治疗方向，所有受训者都参加关注心理治疗一般要素的联合课程，并促进心理治疗原则实际应用于他们的临床常规。这两个项目旨在提高精神病学和心理治疗作为专业的吸引力，从而有助于促进年轻学者的发展。
