This review is aimed to provide some basic criteria intended to be useful as a C-L training guideline. Teaching foundations for C-L Psychiatry are reviewed and the main features of the training schemes in C-L Psychiatry Services or Units are outlined taking in to considerations the four main perspectives such as clinical, teaching, research and management activities. Furthermore, a core curriculum for a teaching is recommended. Teaching principles for C-L Psychiatry should be meditated; due to the absence of national publications in this specific area, this article might give the opportunity to get started in an open debate. In spite of a worldwide promising future for C-L Psychiatry, in Spain there are still few Services or units developed and fewer of those providing a formal teaching program, so an opportunity for a major shift is served.
BACKGROUND: Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry plays a major role in the training and clinical activity during the General Psychiatry Residency. Nevertheless, our national residency program for Psychiatry does not define either goals or distinct activities for the C-L Psychiatry rotation. METHODS: In order to: a) assess its current situation within the official teaching centers in Spain and b) determine the perceived opinion of the residents; a 41 item survey was mailed to 253 third and fourth year residents in Psychiatry to evaluate organizational issues of the C-L services, main aspects of this rotation, perceived quality, level of satisfaction and training needs. RESULTS: At least one resident from 40 out of the 67 accredited training centers answered the survey. The information gathered shown, as it was foreseen, that C-L training within the general psychiatry residency is very heterogeneous; furthermore it was documented some unsatisfaction regarding both the level of supervision and the rotation itself. CONCLUSIONS: Future studies are needed to get a closer look at all these aspects in order to improve the quality of both the rotation in C-L psychiatry and the standards of the C-L service itself. This endeavour shall benefit the training in C-L Psychiatry of the future spanish general psychiatrists.
