Child and adolescent psychiatry has an opportunity to adapt alongside the advancements in medical knowledge, post-graduate training, epidemiological realities and clinical service models. Here, we are guided by the mental health needs of our community's young and their families in our review of child and adolescent psychiatry training in Australia and New Zealand. We recognise that training must respond to clinical demand and service reform while ensuring a range of clinical and educational experiences to deliver expectable competencies in order to produce child and adolescent psychiatrists that meet the communities' needs now and in the future. We argue that training programmes be subject to rigorous evaluation by embedding continuing cycles of improvement including regular review and international bench marking.
儿童和青少年精神病学有机会随着医学知识、研究生培训、流行病学现实和临床服务模式的进步而发展。在这里，我们根据我们社区年轻人及其家庭的心理健康需求，对澳大利亚和新西兰的儿童和青少年精神病学培训进行了审查。我们认识到，培训必须应对临床需求和服务改革，同时确保提供一系列临床和教育经验，以培养可预期的能力，从而培养出现在和未来满足社区需求的儿童和青少年精神病学家。我们认为，培训计划应通过嵌入持续改进的循环，包括定期审查和国际基准测试，接受严格的评估。
