대한민국의 새로운 정신건강의학과 전공의 수련과정개발

Abstract

As the government has a plan to terminate medical internships and to start the New Residentprogram, postgraduate medical students should encounter the new residency training programwithout the internship from 2015. To keep pace with this significant change, the Korean Neuropsychiatryassociation launched the task force team to manage this problem. The task forceteam has examined the psychiatry residency training programs from major countries, includingEngland, Japan, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and the Unites States. In addition, we conducteda survey for teaching psychiatrists and psychiatry residents who just finished the PsychiatryBoard Examination in 2013 using a premade questionnaire on the expected problems thatmight occur if the internship program were abolished, and some significant issues regarding residentrotation schedule to other departments. In this paper, we summarized the results of our examinationand survey. Establishment of a new residency training program based on these surveyswould be desirable.
