The authors describe an extraordinary review of 527 programs in 205 institutions conducted by the Psychiatry Education Branch of NIMH. Each institution was evaluated by 2 site visitors, whose findings were reviewed by a group of 12 special consultants. These consultants voted on approval of grant applications and assigned priorities to those which were approved. Direct results of the review included approval of 69% of the programs, increased support of programs in medical student education, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and psychiatric investigation, but a decrease in the total number of institutions supported. Indirect results were the encouragement of self-evaluation in each program reviewed, the valuable exchange of ideas among the educators involved in the review process, and implications for future reviews. The authors, who believe that psychiatric education is in good health, discuss the findings of this review in terms of the future of the field.
作者描述了美国国立精神卫生研究所（NIMH）精神病学教育分支对205个机构中的527个项目进行的一次特别审查。每个机构由两名实地考察人员进行评估，他们的考察结果由一组12名特别顾问进行审查。这些顾问对资助申请的批准进行投票，并为获得批准的申请确定优先次序。审查的直接结果包括69%的项目获得批准，增加了对医学生教育、会诊联络精神病学和精神病学研究项目的支持，但受支持机构的总数有所减少。间接结果是鼓励每个接受审查的项目进行自我评估，参与审查过程的教育工作者之间进行了有价值的思想交流，以及对未来审查的启示。作者认为精神病学教育状况良好，并根据该领域的未来发展讨论了此次审查的结果。
