The educational challenge of consultation-liaison psychiatry.

The authors examine issues related to quality of psychiatric consultation-liaison education programs on the basis of data from the fiscal year 1975 NIMH review of grant proposals for 71 such programs. This category received the lowest percentage of approval (31 approved, 40 disapproved), which is seen as a reflection of the state of development of the field. Although this is a difficult field in which to teach and practice, the authors feel that the numbers and quality of consultation-liaison programs will grow over the next 10 years and that the proliferation of training programs for primary care physicians and the return of psychiatry to the mainstream of medicine will facilitate this growth.

Psychiatry and the primary care physician.

Psychiatry makes an important contribution to the training and practice of primary care physicians by emphasizing a holistic approach to patient care, by teaching psychiatric skills and by providing knowledge that enables primary care physicians to give basic psychological care to the large numbers of their patients who need it. Consultation-liaison psychiatry and psychiatry education programs for medical students, both of which are given high priority for support by the Psychiatry Education Branch of National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), are model settings in which to teach the psychiatric aspects of primary care.

The development of criteria for evaluating psychiatric education programs.

During the last year, the Psychiatry Education Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health undertook an exhaustive review of 530 training proposals from 205 institutions. The scope of such an endeavor, as well as the desire to maintain peer review, necessitated the recruitment of 90 outside consultants. The need for consistency of judgment among a large group of site visitors gave rise to a document that detailed points of concern in the evaluation of psychiatric training programs. Broader dissemination of this document might be useful in a program's self-evaluation, and might further its understanding of the site-visit process. The result of many such evaluations should be the improvement of psychiatric education throughout the country.
