The authors note that an increase in psychiatry's involvement in the selection and education of medical school students, which historically has been limited and problematic, would benefit both the discipline and the profession in general. There is evidence indicating the need to pay attention to personal attributes in medical education, particularly in light of the incidence of problems in physicians (e.g., addiction, alcoholism, and suicide) that fall within psychiatry's area of expertise. Active participation by psychiatry in medical education might also help combat the cynicism that seems to develop during training and might contribute to consideration of ethical issues and to the fostering of emotional maturity.
作者指出,精神病学在医学院学生选拔和教育方面的参与度增加,这在历史上一直有限且存在问题,总体上对该学科和整个行业都将有益。有证据表明,在医学教育中需要关注个人特质,特别是鉴于精神病学专业领域内医生出现的问题(如成瘾、酗酒和自杀)发生率。精神病学积极参与医学教育也可能有助于对抗培训期间似乎会产生的犬儒主义,并可能有助于对伦理问题的思考以及促进情感成熟。
