Excerpt
Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States and a major cause of mortality in the field of psychiatry (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2017). Therefore, assessing an individual’s suicide risk and subsequently employing treatment strategies with the goal of suicide risk reduction and prevention are key components of clinical practice as a psychiatrist. Because psychiatry residency training programs play a central role in the development of a physician’s competence as an independent practicing psychiatrist and must certify that a graduate is capable of practicing independently without supervision, educating psychiatry residents about the principles of suicide risk assessment (SRA) is essential.
