Undergraduate psychiatric education is essential for the training of medical students and for their recruitment into psychiatry. A significant shortage of graduates choosing a career in psychiatry has been recently documented, and this trend might have many causes. When medical students have positive experiences of teaching, elective placements and exposure to psychiatric patients, their attitudes towards psychiatry are significantly better. Therefore, there is a need to improve the quality of undergraduate training courses in psychiatry. Innovative teaching strategies are suggested, including the use of movies, virtual reality, simulated patients and multiprofessional training wards.
本科精神科教育对于医学生的培训及其从事精神科工作至关重要。最近有文献记载,选择从事精神科职业的毕业生严重短缺,这种趋势可能有多种原因。当医学生在教学、选修实习以及接触精神科患者方面有积极体验时,他们对精神科的态度会明显更好。因此,有必要提高本科精神科培训课程的质量。建议采用创新教学策略,包括使用电影、虚拟现实、模拟患者和多专业培训病房。
