A weekly, year-long research seminar, led by two clinical research faculty members, provides psychiatric residents with an opportunity to integrate clinical and research experience and "hands-on" familiarity with clinical research. The functional goal is production of an IRB-approved clinical research project design. The group approach is less intimidating for the residents, allows for individual flexibility while maintaining the project's momentum, is congruent with other seminars and courses, and encourages a cooperative approach to research. Evaluations indicate that the residents value the experience and that they increase their knowledge of the requirements and techniques of clinical research.
