Abstract

Currently our field is actively involved in developing new ways to characterize and treat children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders and in evaluating the effects of our therapies. We also are beginning to examine the effectiveness of our teaching methods. This article presents evidence for, ideas about, and a philosophy to guide individuals who are privileged to train child psychiatrists in psychotherapies. Specifically, it discusses the issues of the evidence base for diagnosis and for nonspecific and specific active elements of child psychotherapy. Evidence for methods of training is presented. The article addressed the need for supervising psychiatrists to keep abreast of developments in teaching methods so that we can best train competent, curious, and compassionate child psychiatrists.

Teaching development in undergraduate and graduate medical education.

Faculty members from three different institutions, each with long-standing experience teaching development, present strategies for teaching normal development in undergraduate and graduate medical education. This article provides an overview of licensing body requirements, teaching methodology, audiovisual and textbook resources, goals and objectives (knowledge, skills, and attitudes), and sample curricula for teaching human development to medical students, general psychiatry residents, and child and adolescent psychiatry residents. The challenges of teaching development to various groups of trainees with different required course lengths and expected levels of competency, using lifespan and topical approaches, are reviewed.

Developing a psychopathology curriculum during child and adolescent psychiatry residency training: general principles and a problem-based approach.

Psychopathology is one of the core elements in a curriculum on child and adolescent psychiatry. Because there is no best-evidence model described for teaching this topic, an approach must be developed in each program that meets the standards set out by the Residency Review Committee and fully prepares its graduates to be competent child and adolescent psychiatrists. Methods used for teaching psychopathology may vary widely among programs and should be based on a sound educational rationale and adult learning principles that emphasize life-long, self-directed learning. This article describes an overall approach to curriculum design and expands on the use of problem-based learning as an educational method for teaching psychopathology in a child and adolescent psychiatry residency program.

The consultant pharmacist and the physician in the nursing home: roles, relationships, and a recipe for success.

Nursing homes must provide sophisticated medical and personal care to a broad spectrum of residents and patients. Medications are an increasingly important part of that care. The risks and benefits of medications are widely published, but not necessarily recognized in the care of individual patients. Decisions about medications must be made in the proper context of the patient. Medications are often indicated for various illnesses, symptoms, and risk factors, but clinically significant adverse consequences of medications are common and typically mimic common syndromes. Timely recognition and management of adverse consequences requires vigilance and a high index of suspicion. Many factors influence medication prescribing and use in the nursing home. Newly updated OBRA surveyor guidance emphasizes the importance of following the full care process in implementing, dosing, monitoring, and adjusting medications. Physicians and consultant pharmacists have prominent, complementary roles in addressing medications in the nursing home. The purpose of this article is to clarify these roles, identify their basis (primarily, the care process), and discuss how physicians and consultant pharmacists can collaborate effectively to optimize medication use and minimize preventable adverse consequences.
