Overview

As our understanding of mental disorders and their pathophysiology has advanced over the last few decades, and with the advent of innovative biological treatments, psychiatry has become increasingly rooted in medicine, drawing from both neurology and neuroscience. The teaching of psychiatry has also shifted from abstract, theory-heavy content to competency-based, practical training. It remains essential to teach psychiatry as an integrated discipline, considering factors such as globalization, diversity and inclusion, patient agency and autonomy, and the relationship between lifestyle and mental health. That is where the Manual of Undergraduate Psychiatric Education comes in. Written by and for educators, it provides comprehensive, practical guidance to develop effective teaching skills in psychiatric education. The book is organized into three parts: • General topics, including curriculum development, assessment, and feedback; fostering medical student interest in psychiatry; and the historical aspects of undergraduate psychiatric education • Practical aspects of teaching, from presentation techniques and simulation to remote learning, clinical teaching, and theories of learning • Specialized themes that include leadership and career pathways, research education, and ethico-legal concerns Each chapter has concluding notes and key points that summarize the most actionable information, and tables throughout the book provide quick reference points. Unlike any other guide available, the Manual of Undergraduate Psychiatric Education will help academic psychiatrists, prospective teaching physicians, and professionals involved in medical education equip the psychiatry leaders of the future.
