Committing to the Scientific Basis of Psychiatry: Implications for Training and Educational Research
Abstract
The recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) report affirmed the scientific basis of psychiatry, calling for vigorous efforts to increase the numbers of patient-oriented investigators in our field and to enhance the overall scientific knowledge and preparation of psychiatrists-in-training (1). Authors of the IOM report specifically recommended that the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the Psychiatry Residency Review Committee require patient-oriented research literacy as a core competency. As a corollary, all residency training programs should teach and assess critical appraisal skills (1). Residencies should adopt curricula encompassing topics fundamental to evidence-based medicine, such as scientific design and methods, problem defining, searching, evaluating, and application of evidence to state-of-the-art clinical practice (2). Finally, psychiatry training should inculcate the capacity for practice-based learning, one of the six core competencies for residents as defined by the Advisory Group of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) (3). Four related concepts, each with slightly different implications for psychiatric training, have now been introduced: research literacy, critical appraisal skills, evidence-based medicine, and practice-based learning. The following working definitions might be considered. Research literacy, as articulated in the IOM report, entails the ability to assimilate emerging theoretical knowledge about biology and empirical
