The psychiatric clerkship is the educational center of the psychiatric curriculum and is a powerful influence in recruitment into psychiatry. Clerkships remain inpatient-based, although effective treatments and changes in reimbursement have moved the practice of psychiatry out of hospitals and into ambulatory settings. Despite dissatisfaction with inpatient teaching, psychiatry has lagged behind other specialties in creating outpatient teaching venues.
