OBJECTIVE: The authors describe the availability of formal residency training opportunities in women’s issues in psychiatry and explore the potential relationships between the availability of training and characteristics of residency programs. METHOD: The authors surveyed psychiatry residency training directors to identify program characteristics and training opportunities. RESULTS: Certain didactic subjects were available in greater than 80% of residencies. Clinical training opportunities were less available and often not required. CONCLUSIONS: Selected didactic training in gender issues is commonly available in a majority of residencies. Nevertheless, general clinical instruction and didactic instruction in several important topics are less available.
