Abstract

The authors describe what is probably the first example of the joining together of all the psychiatric teaching institutions in a metropolitan area to sponsor a teaching program in psychiatry. Involving more than 400 mental health professionals in its seven years of existence, this program includes seminars and a practicum, leading to a certificate; a Community Psychiatry Forum; all-day workshops; and consultations. In addition to fulfilling specific needs, the program has created a professional "community" of the many groups involved in psychiatric teaching, practice, and research.
