During the last decade, major changes have taken place in the United States with respect to psychiatric educational perspectives. Among them, the design, development and implementation of the “Core Competency Model” in the training of medical students, graduate students and postgraduate students. This emphasis evolved out of the vision and efforts of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Currently, all medical specialties are already following this new didactic model of training. In this respect the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is playing a major role via special continuing medical education courses, educationally-oriented publications and professional leadership in the field of psychiatry.

In this presentation, a review of this new educational model will be made, with emphasis on its applications in the clinical setting.

  1. 1. Understand the basis of the Core Competency Model of Training.

  2. 2. Be able to apply this model in the clinical setting.

  3. 3. Utilize this model in the classroom with psychiatric residents.
