Aimed at optimizing training for all residents, including those who will pursue a C-L Psychiatry fellowship
In a week when 95 new trainees have been enrolled in C-L Psychiatry Fellowship programs for 2025—continuing growth in this specialty—a workgroup of ACLP members have recommended updates to residency training.
The workgroup of eight Academy members are all leaders in residency and fellowship education at local and national levels.
They have made 34 recommendations across four domains, including structural issues, faculty supervision, formal curriculum and evaluations, and elective experiences.
“These recommendations are intended to guide residency program directors towards optimizing C-L Psychiatry training for all residents, including those who will eventually pursue C-L Psychiatry fellowship,” they say.
“Establishing a strong C-L Psychiatry foundation for all residents is essential for ensuring competency in providing psychiatric care for medically complex patients and collaborating with our colleagues in other specialties, as well as fostering trainee interest in pursuing a career in C-L Psychiatry.”
