Approaches to Postgraduate Education in Psychiatry in Canada:
What Educators and Residents Need to Know

Edited by: John S. Leverette, Gary S. Hnatko, Emmanuel Persad

This book is written in support of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada's (RCPSC) updated Objectives of Training Requirements and Specialty Training Requirements in Psychiatry which came into effect in July 2008. It is intended to enhance understanding of these documents and breathe life into them by presenting a toolbox approach to training paradigms. The tools exemplify strategies that will realize the RCPSC training objectives while recognizing the variable resources available to Canadian departments of psychiatry. It is directed primarily to psychiatric educators and residency program directors to assist in the implementation of RCPSC standards and to psychiatric residents in order that they may have in-depth knowledge of the competencies required for contemporary practice.

However, specific tips and information to help psychiatry IMGs with their transition into psychiatry residency has not been readily accessible early in residency.
