ABSTRACT
The authors surveyed 50 psychiatry residency training programs to examine the current status of addiction training and the impact of the new Residency Review Committee addiction training criteria for general psychiatry residencies. Only 5 programs did not already meet the new 1-month full-time equivalent addiction training requirement, and those programs anticipated only modest changes. The modal full-time equivalent addiction experience was actually 2 months, with great diversity in timing and settings. Respondents, however, often felt that their programs relied on one key addiction supervisor and that affiliated PGY-5 addiction residents usually had only limited roles in teaching and supervising the general psychiatry residents.
