Handbook of Psychiatric Education, Second Edition

The long-awaited second edition of the Handbook of Psychiatric Education represents a complete reconceptualization of the subject of psychiatric education, reflecting the increased complexity and sheer volume of information that has come to light in the more than 15 years since the first edition. New teaching methodologies, updated regulatory requirements, application inflation, mentoring problems and other challenges can combine to create information overload for the educator intent on delivering high-level instruction and guidance to students from the preclinical stage through the residency and fellowship stages. Under fresh editorial leadership, the text offers cutting-edge content and a roster of new contributors who tackle general topics in psychiatric education, such as professionalism, diversity, supervision, and burnout; issues related to medical student education, such as residency recruitment and student advising, evaluation strategies, and the role of psychiatry in the preclinical curriculum; and subjects relevant to resident and fellowship education, such as accreditation, financing, residency administration, assessment of resident challenges, subspecialty training, and faculty and career development.

Readers of the Handbook of Psychiatric Education will be informed and motivated by its practical wisdom, principle-driven approach to scholarship, and enthusiasm for the important work of training the next generation of psychiatrists.
