In 1989, the authors surveyed all general psychiatry residency programs to assess the availability, extent, and emphasis of administrative teaching currently being offered during residency training. With a return rate of 74.5%, the results reveal that 69.5% of the respondents presently include administrative training within their curricula and 56% offer didactic teaching about administrative issues. These results are compared with a similar survey performed 10 years previously in which 85% of the respondents reported offering some administrative training but only 39% offered didactic instruction in this area. An analysis of these data and a review of proposed curricula for training in administration are provided.Abstract Teaser
