Small psychiatric training programs with few trainees, limited funds, and suboptimal numbers of faculty face problems in maintaining quality education. As a survival tip for such programs, the authors describe a weekly experimental seminar for third-year residents which supplemented faculty with a large number of voluntary speakers from the community and supplemented the audience with other mental health personnel from the department. The residents, guest speakers, and guest audience were exceedingly pleased with the results, indicating that small programs can find ways around their limitations without using extra funds.read more
