Abstract:
A compulsory postgraduate clinical training system, which includes psychiatry as a requirement, will be started in 2004. However, many problems have been pointed out and discussed. In this report we offer 2 suggestions for making clinical training more useful. First, new residents should study not only psychiatric knowledge but also the attitudes of psychiatrists toward patients. Second, we psychiatrists should determine the practical requirements for the training of new residents. In such suggestions are implemented, Japanese psychiatry may change for the better.
