Abstract
Residents in psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry often seem to their preceptors to have difficulty with critical thinking. The author designed a curriculum for first-year (PGY-4) child and adolescent psychiatry residents with this perceived deficit in mind. The curriculum consisted of a blend of traditional first-year child and adolescent psychiatry didactic curriculum with a curriculum in philosophy. On the Cornell Critical Thinking Test, residents who took this course outscored residents who did not at a statistically significant level. The advantages of such a course are discussed.Preview Only.
