The Meagerness of Physicians' Training in Emergency Psychiatric Intervention.

Weissberg, Michael

Academic Medicine, v65 n12 p747-50 Dec 1990

A survey of 236 medical residency program directors concerning the extent of training in emergency psychiatric intervention (EPI) provided found that, although certain specialties provided the most EPI training, in general it was very limited. More training, and the content of that training, are recommended. (Author/MSE)
