Abstract

As the government has a plan to terminate medical internships and to start the New Resident program, postgraduate medical students should encounter the new residency training program without the internship from 2015. To keep pace with this significant change, the Korean Neuropsychiatry association launched the task force team to manage this problem. The task force team has examined the psychiatry residency training programs from major countries, including England, Japan, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and the Unites States. In addition, we conducted a survey for teaching psychiatrists and psychiatry residents who just finished the Psychiatry Board Examination in 2013 using a premade questionnaire on the expected problems that might occur if the internship program were abolished, and some significant issues regarding resident rotation schedule to other departments. In this paper, we summarized the results of our examination and survey. Establishment of a new residency training program based on these surveys would be desirable.
