Some years ago, I wrote an article about psychiatric residency training in the United States. As my own experiences on making enquiries in England had been that very few people knew what went on or was available in the US. I felt that it might help those who were contemplating taking some or all of their postgraduate training there. Also, that it might be helpful to those wanting to make some comparisons between the training they were receiving in England and that available in the US.
