Intellectual content - Psychiatry Specialty Training Program

Filed in: Specialty Profiles » Psychiatry »

Psychiatry differs from many other specialties in that the knowledge base required tends to focus on psychosociocultural aspects of disease. Core areas covered include psychosocial development from infancy to old age and all aspects of psychiatric disorders and psychological reactions in patients and their caregivers. Psychiatrists also need to be well versed in principles of internal medicine which relate to psychiatric practice. There is an increasing knowledge base of psychobiology and psychopharmacology to be covered.
