Core Competencies for Psychiatric Practice

Resource Type

Book

Description

"The practice of medicine has changed radically during the past few decades. Patients?better informed than ever?now demand more of their physicians, viewing them as partners rather than revering them as sole decision-makers. In this environment, nonnegotiable core competencies?ever-evolving and measured by certification, recertification, and, more recently, maintenance of certification?are more important than ever. Written from the perspective of those responsible for educating and certifying the next generations of psychiatrists, this groundbreaking compendium by distinguished contributors offers?for the first time?a concise look at the final product of the June 2001 Invitational Core Competencies Conference sponsored by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) as regards psychiatry (with a future comparable publication focusing on neurology)."--(www.appi.org)
