The Institute of Medicine's report on Research Training in Psychiatry Residency: Strategies for Reform--background, results, and follow up
Abstract
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) determined that declines in the psychiatrist-researcher workforce are harming public needs and that significant steps are necessary to alter current trends.
The NIMH commissioned the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine the undersupply and recommend solutions. The NIMH subsequently appointed a National Psychiatry Training Council (NPTC) to facilitate implementation of the IOM's recommendations.
The IOM recommendations and preliminary NPTC actions to address them are described.
Increasing the psychiatrist-researcher workforce will require interventions involving many institutions. The NPTC's efforts may offer practical solutions for approaching complex and admittedly challenging difficulties.
