Abstract

Objectives: To develop learning objectives for teaching child psychiatry to family medicine trainees and to evaluate the best method of teaching these objectives. Method: For this descriptive study, knowledge, attitude, and skill objectives were presented to trainees at the start of a 6-month rotation, and an evaluation mechanism was developed based on the learning objectives. The method of instruction in each of the training locations was described independently by the child psychiatry consultant and attending family physician. The trainees' evaluations were presented according to training locations. Results: Family medicine trainees perceived the teaching-consultation method, with live interviews, to be the most helpful and the didactic lecture format to be least helpful. Conclusion: The importance of teaching family medicine residents to recognize mental health problems in children and adolescents, preferably by using live interviews, and the implications for postresidency practice are emphasized.
